Front Strut Supports / Monte Carlo Bar

Hey all ,,

here's my lo-buget front strut and monte carlo bars

it's easy to do. i went a bought the solid round stock
measured, cut, heated the ends and pounded flat.
Then drilled. the monte carlo bar needed to be bent
so it was heated and bent to shape. on the back side where the bolts go through i used some flat metal pieces as backing plates for added strength.

Yeah as a matter of fact, there is a difference. I would like one of those other bars, but **** that ! same results
for cheap, plus i like to make my own stuff when i can.
After driving without a brace, then with a brace, cars should have such a brace anyways. any bracing up front is always good.plus i have a rear strut brace too.

Yeah, i made it myself, thats innercooler piping along with the rubber sections. I also cut and vented the headlight lid. not a NACA duct, but i like the shape of the vent. I could have made a NACA, just testing others
first. Why not ,anyway with the vent and the piping it turned out ok, looks ok, and works too.
