trans mount prep

I got my new lathe tooling and got my metal for the transmission mount mount.  I read about a metal tube folding technique to make more natural looking bends in tubing.  I wasn't sure how accurate it would be for what I am trying to do, so I gave it a try:




 
On the whole I was happy with how it looked, and the angle ended up right on what I was trying to do.  I was worried about doing 4 of these and expecting everything to work out.  One option may be to make all the cuts, bend it close, bolt it into the car, then tack it together there.
 
I also made the first bush for the trans mount today:
