Greg,
Harbor Freight Tools has a portable tube bender on sale for $70. The sale ad specs says 5/16"x1-1/4" to 1/4"x2" mild steel tubing capacity. I'm not sure, but I think the specs are for wall thickness x diameter.
Might be an alternative if having a machine shop gets too expensive. Also, you might try asking any friends who are into modifying their cars if they have any contacts in muffler/body shops. Those places do a lot of tube bending for exhaust systems and frame building.
