ones like that range in price from about $275 (for a chinese one) to $650 or so for a cadillac. There is someone on ebay selling decent ones for about $350 that I've used before (school had one) and thought it was sufficient. The bender itself isn't the expensive part... it's the dies. Make sure whichever one you want comes with all the dies you could ever need.

looks like i gotta throw it away. the events i will be running at require an already appoved model. so looks like i either pay to have it tested or buy a hard dog. ******* retarded :( so when i found that out i stopped working on it, so there are not mounting plates welded to it or backing plates made for that matter. haha anyone want a style bar :gay:
oh and if anyone wondered.. the paint job is going to be white with a solid black stripe like my old paint job just different colors. time to fab up a front strut tower/firewall brace and get a lower front tie bar. other than that thats pretty much got the fab work done for it... oh and weld some aluminum to my hood where my headlights used to be. but that will probly wait a while... who needs a body to go throw some smoke.
