hi Dave,  the links don't seem to work. I am building a rear wheel drive using a '71 VW frame with a motorcycle front end grafted to it. it's going to be a cross between a Trimuter & a Tryon, with my own styling cues. I'm going to be building a fiberglass body & using various parts of other vehicles. Once spring comes & the snow melts (usually in May) I'll finally get to start. I'll be posting my progress from time to time on the group. if you can think of a different link I can use to get to the 3 wheelerreplicas group, feel free to send it to me.                  thanks, Trey  --- On Fri, 12/26/08, Dave Allen <klaus756@charter.net> wrote: From: Dave Allen <klaus756@charter.net> Subject: Re: [homebuiltcars] HF tubing roller review To: homebuiltcars@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, December 26, 2008, 8:31 PM Hi Trey. Try http://autos. groups.yahoo. com/group. 3wheelerreplicas / . Are you building a reverse trike? try http://autos. groups.yahoo. com/rtdiy/ or http://autos. groups.yahoo. com/reversetrike . I have two different reverse trike designs that I am working on. The first, front wheel drive and Honda Goldwing powered, the second, Rear wheel drive Virago 1100 powered. Both are in very early stages, although I have been at it for awhile. While you're visiting the 3 wheeler replicas site visit my pic's on Daves Mess. Cheers. Dave Allen. ----- Original Message ----- From: Trey Flye To: homebuiltcars@ yahoogroups. com Sent: Friday, December 26, 2008 4:28 PM Subject: Re: [homebuiltcars] HF tubing roller review Hi Dave,  Do you have the link to the 3 wheel replicas group? I couldn't find it. as I am building a 3 wheeled car, I'd be interested. thanks, Trey --- On Fri, 12/26/08, Dave Allen <klaus756@charter. net> wrote: From: Dave Allen <klaus756@charter. net> Subject: Re: [homebuiltcars] HF tubing roller review To: homebuiltcars@ yahoogroups. com Date: Friday, December 26, 2008, 5:19 PM Hi John. I have a Pro Tools bender that works very well. The dies are outrageous, but that seems common to all benders. Another good source is Low Buck tools (google them). Have you seen the pic's of the Messersmitt Spelling, sorry) streamliner on the 3 wheel replicas group site? Very nice especially when you consider he has only been building a short time. Cheers.

I think there are probably members here that would be interested in this review. I have been eyeing up the Harbor freight tubing bender (not the infamous pipe kinker) since it first appeared on their website but had held off as the dies were too small. .5" .75 and 1". Well it seems they are mislabelled as the dies are actually 1", 1.5" and 2" diameter tubing dies. This wouldn't work real well for the tight radius bends, but is definitely a good starting place for some of the large smooth bends that may be more common in a CS. Here is a review I found today through my dune buggy forums. http://www.pirate4x 4.com/forum/ showthread. php?t=737981
