1967 Mercury Cougar Tubing Bender
|
Using a JD Squared Model 3 tubing bender that he fitted with a hydraulic ram for easy one-man bending, Kertz shaped the main hoop using the angles he measured inside the Cougar. Actually he has to bend just a touch more than is needed to account for slight bounce-back in the tube. Once he releases tension and the tube is in its final shape he rechecks the angle and then measures the ram to ease repeatability on the other side of the hoop. View Related Article
