Yep. We used that size for a buddy's camaro.
Its all about leverage. You make your own handle... I made mine three to
four feet long, though its angled, as my bender is mounted to my bench and
I needed the angle for clearance. Without the angle, a shorter handle
would probably work.
The bender really works pretty well. For anything other than a fulltime
fabricator/cage builder, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it at all. For
a fulltime guy, I'd want the same bender but with hydraulics.
