not a bad idea if you have a pipe bender and a welder in your garage. keep us updated and post the finished product!!

look good

fakesaleen · March 21st, 2006, 06:09 PM

well the ones that i've been looking at used pretty thin metal and the pipe it self wasn't very big around so I went to the steel supply shop and got ten feet of really strong pipe and I don't have a pipe bender i used a torch and muscle.

fakesaleen · March 23rd, 2006, 01:53 PM

fakesaleen · April 3rd, 2006, 02:56 PM

mounting brackets on and the welds are are done a little high performance wheel coating and its almost time to bolt in

fakesaleen · April 3rd, 2006, 03:20 PM

The only thing left to do is drill a couple more mounting holes and bolt it down
