I thought i would post this to get the DIY section going. cyclops

So i built some fender brace's since i can build them for free since my uncle can get me free steel. So i build these, they are made out of 1/8" plate and 7/8" round tubing. they are super beefy

Plates:

Pipe squished and welded on:

Cleaned up and primed and painted:

Comparison:

Overall i am vary happy with how they turned out.

Next week when I come home we could measure the mounts or something like that. My car probably won't be ready anyways until the cruise on Sunday.
