Default Wrapping up another project ( fender braces )

First off do not ask in this thread if I will sell these, or how much or anything along those lines. There are better means of reaching me ( IE email and IM )

I have taken a look, I will let you borrow a set and put them to the test. I guarantee you can not break them nor will they flex under the harshest of conditions. Plus mine are not done yet, I am still adding triangle pieces onto the main brackets.

Oh and people that say the a-sport uses that extra bolt.

That bolt does nothing, it does not go completely threw the frame.

I've been wondering about how well those work. When I put my car on jackstands at the jacking points benind the front wheels, the front continues to come down after the jackstands are supporting the load. Anybody else notice this? My GSR does the same thing but not as bad. I guess because it is not as old.

I also know some people were asking about the welds before, all I can say is these welds are plenty strong, and all of my customers get the full life time warranty just like with any of my other products.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Very good selling point

you have PM

I guess you can call it that, I'm a nice guy. If you talk to any of my previous customers they will tell you how much I help out even when money is not involved. But anyways, I'll have more pics up soon.

Since these are going on my car though they will not be painted, because that will involve me taking my fender off once more, test fitting, welding, slapping fender on, then welding, then painting.

I probably will just test fit, weld and bolt up and slap fender on.

Thank you, I knew there was a name for them.

But working in 90 degree weather, in long pants and a long sleeve shirt with welding gloves on and a hat, for about 10 hours takes a toll on the brain you know

Well I will deff. vouch for this, my friend had a trans problem and bam just went and asked him if he could help me trouble shoot it and he got the problem rite on the nose! Also for me, we have had a few conversations about setting up possible engines/turbos for my car. He knew everything that was involved did research for me to help find the best stuff for me. Always willing to lend a hand and i will say he is a GREAT seller to. so if he starts selling these things i wouldn’t hesitate to invest in these!


But bump this up so everyone can see this mans awesome work!

Great Job Bob those will go nicely on my REX. I love the idea of the braces and that you will custom make a set just for me in whatever color I want. Hell and I know what a dahm perfectionist you are. Ofcourse mine will be a dark manly color as opposed to your west coast chopper pink

I'll have a pic tonight or tomorrow, they should not weigh more then 5lb, but remember people, that is weight above the front tires, it would add traction.
