Nice final product, look good… on one of your 1st posts, you said better welds… but yet they both looked like bubble gum was holding them together! Either that or the pic makes it looks worse! Either way, the final product looks great and im sure you can make some money off of it. Good luck! ---

Im not selling them on here…there arent any neons on here. so no need for for me to be a sponsor. business aint doin too bad tho, sold about 30 of them since sept. lowered the price down for a black friday sale and got 13 more buyers, so I been busy after work. Heres what Im workin on now ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/pl1radbkt_short-1.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/pl1radbkt_short-1.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/PL1RadBktB-2.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/PL1RadBktB-2.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/PL1RadBkt_short-2.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/PL1RadBkt_short-2.jpg) Aluminum Radiator Brackets: 1. they pull the radiator toward the upper crossbrace to force air through the radiator that would otherwise go above it. 2. lightweight, gets rid of those ugly steel radiator brackets, and replace them with a part that will never rust. Company that used to make them has gone out of business and no longer makes them, everyone is trying to find them now ---

Damnit these are both things I have made in the past. Got the idea for the bobble strut on turbododge back in maybe 05, went to home depot and bought an 8"x1" threaded pipe and a pipe cap, drilled a hole across the bottom half for the crossmember bolt and threaded the cap on and drilled a hole in the center of it and ran a bolt up through it with locking bolts to hold it in there. Spent maybe $5 at most. Works wonderful, still on there. When i bought my teg in maybe 06 it didn’t have a drivetrain since someone took it out for a swap. anyways lots of parts missing. didn’t have the rad brackets so i looked around the garage and found some flat aluminum exactly like yours and did the 2 right angel bends and drilled the 2 holes, blam done. took 10 mins. ---

if you sell enough of these you should invest in a tig welder so you can make them look even better. ---
