The tubing should bend okay with a conduit bender. The type that electricians use. If you can't locate someone with one, perhaps you could rent one for a day.

I missed all this!!

Yea that Mustang was great!! I got it too 120 and it started to float all over the road :o Thought I was going to lose it!!
Was a fun ride!!

Any how do as CB, says! If you can't get a bender or rent one some times a garage like Midas, Speedy, ect.. will do it for you, I had a friend that had a Midas do it for him.

I was thinking about muffler shops but wasn't sure if they'd have a die tight enough for the smaller tubing. But yeah, muffler shops use those mandrel benders which are perfect for this.
