    depends on the line - I know a couple of locals who still had them in stock (at least they did last year) but I dont think most places (unless they have a high festiva demand) will stock them anymore

          bending tool

          The right tool for the job allows for speed and precision.

          This is what I recommend:

              You can get the table-top mounted models for $100. I couldn't fine the hand-held ones though.

              So, for about the same price as a fully-loaded 1993 Ford Festiva, you could also wield the power to obliterate a small village in the blink of an eye.

                the tool is ok in some instances but there are not that many bends in Festy lines and the 3/16th line is very easy to bend by hand. The tool would slow you down.

                      I know of a place in sunbury Ohio just above columbus can make anything you want with a pattern I had them make complete lines for my old GLH Caravan cost about $25 a line for stainless. It came out real nice they do street rods but they will do anything my GLH was one of a kind so it was worth the cost it was the Only 88 V6 5 speed caravan and it really did Go Like He double hockey stick

                          Here is their web sight been long time since I used them but they do great work. When I worked for International Truck and Engine I used to have them make hydro lines for School buses and straight trucks thats how I found out about them. www.rightstuffdetailing.com
