Finally got some time off for the holidays so this is the final installed picture. Worked out perfect as the fully extended bar clears the house by about an inch or so.

I'm in the process of offloading a motor and transmission now so I can go pick up a sand rail frame. Bent tubing will be coming within a month.

The JD2 is a great bender. I've built a few cages and loaned it out to several friends. Be careful with your mounting though, with 1-3/4, 095" tube, I use all of my 180lbs to make a bend. Your footing doesn't look very deep and may not have enough mass to resist your applied torque. You also need to look at your clearance to the wall when you have 10' hanging off one end and sweeping though the arc. I put four RedHead inserts in the middle of my garage floor and just unbolt the base between projects.
Good luck!
