Have you used the arc bender yet? I was looking at that but thought trying to bend 1/8 wall steel would take a whole lot of passes.

It's sad to say that im putting this body up for sale. The rolling of my other car really set me back.
I started this project in 2009 my life has changed alot scenes. just don't have the time like i did then. It is currently on my trailer so i can deliver it locally.
I have extra doors and body section to finish the body work. |
