Good to see you have the digital angle finders. If it isn't all straight while you bend, its worthless. An you have to worry about a bunch of sides being level,even while they move. It's not a walk in the park .
Looking good so far. How do you like the hydraulic attachment ? I have the 105, but use it manually.

It's great, I didn't want to anchor a base and I wanted to make the bender mobile and it works great for that, also leaves my arm strength for other extra curricular activities.

Curious, where did you buy your tubing from ?

Quit teasing, let's see pics....
Loving the build. I just snagged a 1.75 dies for my bender last week off craigs. Can't wait to do a cage project now...

Main hoop done

Nice and tight




Rear down bars with notching

Diagonal

Forward bars wouldn't fit between dash and seam, had to narrow the dash, I wanted the bars attached to the rocker for a few reasons.

That tubing notcher and bender make me jelly. I could put both to use in my garage.
