I used my boys welder yesterday to finish up a strut bar I had been making before my gas ran out. This is my first one...........









I am also going to be making a frame bar and weld some cross pipe to that. It will be completely removable.

Nice!!!!

I love the "industrial" look to it. Big, squared ends, simple angles. Very nice bro.

Engrave you name into the middle of it

Dude. Periods are your friends. Please.

Seriously. When everyone is asleep, try reading this out loud to yourself.

I'm sure you're a cool guy, just make an effort on here.

Great work CBURKE, this is by far the best build i have EVER seen. I moved to Flagstaff, AZ and there are really no one who likes to tune cars, no shops, people, or cars so its so hard to stay interested in cars, but reading this always gets me in the mood. thanks buddy.

BTW...i have seen like 2 cavalier's with exhausts, intakes and octane booster additive's from pep boys...lol haha

Nothing just yet, I am now waiting on a friend to get his boss's trailer so he can get this white POS out of here.

I was testing something out on my wife's car. I'll be doing this to mine when I get paint

This is the color of her car


So I was thinking I could make this look the same








When the light hits it, it looks more copper.

I finally got some work done. The door was a BITCH, I don't think it's prefect but to keep in budget I had to fix it the best I could.




















I have the driver side fender to finish, and it's in pretty bad shape. When that's done I will have the back Quarter panel to sand down and the trunk lid was a little wavy, so that need some work to. I should be done with all this buy the end of next week.

Thanks for looking!!!
