Nice Job!! But, since you labeled your thread "DIY", I think that means you have to tell us EXACTLY how you did it! fing02.gif fing02.gif fing02.gif 'Cause we all want to know man!!! smile.gif

/\ This is a straight bar with no worries about anything getting in the way, not to mention making one is much much different than 26+

But go ahead and try to make them, id like to see how it comes out fing02.gif lmao.gif

ON TOPIC

Good job on the bar, let us know how it holds up.
