a good kit will set up back about $700. There used to be a bunch of these on ebay.. don't see any now..

Ax, it was in the Dec issue of Street Rodder magazine. Williams lowbuck tools, www.lowbucktools.com, supplies the faceplate which forms the business end of the c throat. You supply your own box tubing and construct the rest. It's a multi use machine with interchangable heads, allowing you to contruct one tool for multiple uses. The heads are english wheel, planishing hammer, sheetmetal shear, louver press, box and pan brake, sheetmetal punch, bead roller, shrinker/stretcher, and radius and angle forming dies. Don't know what the cost is, I'm sure more than the HF, but it looks like you can purchase what you need, and buy the rest later. Someone needs to buy one and report back! BTW, in the article, Jim Rizzo says he'll be reporting again soon on how it works.

Nathan,
Sorta. But HF seems to have some stuff that Princess doesn't. Boss Tools out of VCR looks interesting too though.
I bought an electric sheet metal shear and an electric die grinder - both Chicago Electric - from HF in the past (before the ridiculous FEDEX policy) and love them both.
See you finally got an EEC. Congrats. (Have a few questions for you - I'll email).

If you guys want to build a very high quality E wheel,check out Hoosier pattern & die company,They make the Wheels,Dies,Trucks,whatever you need to build a good E wheel,like good old american world war 2 standards,The Chinese will not get any of My money,A friend of mine said they tore down the old Pakard/Ford factory up in Detroit & sent that to China,America is disapearing right now & most are to blind to see it.Sad on our part...
