I have a welder, but no bender and no time next weekend. I'd be willing to help some other time though.

I have a bender, but unless it's 1.75" tubing, you are sol.

I have a HF pipe bender I lent out. I can try to get it back if you need it.

It was 3 of us and we bought a shitload.

Nope, but since they are tube doors, why not jut go with sch 40 pipe from home depot? I have a harbor freight pipe bender that will work.
