Hi Doug ..... Thanks so much for doing this job. I know I will probably need to use one, but I haven't a clew to when. I've had my kit maybe a month or so. The real question I have for you is, about how far out does the list go? days, weeks or month. With that I'll know a little better as to when I will need to get on the list....I live in Brea, Southern CA if that matters... Thank in advance..... JJ'snakepit John Jones
I am in riverside and now that I am driving my new car understand the need. Please get in touch. Not painted yet but I am in love with my car and the girlfriend understands!!
Thanks Rick

Disregard request for bender. I removed the pedals and used a torch, vise, cheater bar and crescent to bend and warp where I needed them. I'll have them painted and back to new.
Tom, I got an e-mail from Doug regarding your interest in the bender. I have it here at my place and will try and give you a call over the next few days. Frank
