There are a wide variety of tubing bender options that pertain to hot rod builders, chassis fabricators, and exhaust shops, however, rarely is there a once-size-fits-all tubing bender that can handle every application. In this seminar, we'll discuss the variety of tubing benders on the market, their benefits and intended uses, and how the right tubing bender can increase efficiency during the building process.
Presented by Carter Vos.
We'll discuss the basic components and operation of a modern aftermarket climate control system and how to choose the right system for your vehicle. We'll also talk about how the parts of the system work together to keep you comfortable, along with installation tips to keep your system operating at optimal efficiency.

When you are choosing the finishing details for your latest build, instruments are one of those key components. John will discuss the history of the company as well as tell you about exciting new products along with options to consider when looking for gauges. Lastly, John will go over what the future technology holds in helping to develop more options on how you can add your own personal touch to any of their products to create your own "Finishing Touch".
