I would get a band saw for cutting metal. If you watch Craigslist you can find some good deals, same with drill presses. I have a large Delta from Lowe's and it works well. For the tube bender check out the plans on gottrikes.com. I built one about 10 years ago, cost was under $400 with a set...

Nice project, frame looks good.

Yes it will, so if you plan to paint it there is no reason you cannot use standard wire and gas.

That is a good tip, stainless will absorb the steel and rust. I dedicate grinding discs and wire wheels (stainless wheels only) for stainless and write "SS" on them.
