looks sweet dude. ur getting good at welding..
funny how it has a strange resemblance to my rear bar same with ur sliders. maybe i should charge royalties.
gunna put tail lights in it and some pollished alloy on top. Gotta have some bling.

[SHANE055]

looking good i enjoyed your slider thread keep them coming i also noticed you've changed flavours of beer in this one lets see you make safety pluggers out of a stubbie

[Mad Cruiser]

Hey scott....

Hope ya gonna put in LED lights in the bar mate

Sweet job, liking it dude

[rockcrawler31]

Cool man

all ya gotta do is put a 50 point exo roll cage on it in case you get "cough" directionally disoriented "cough" again.

Nah just jokes. is that body been done in primer or is that the original colour again?

with those side bits on the rear bar make sure you tie them back to the chassis. I used to have a rear bar with side bars and if you leaned the side against a tree it would push into the panelwork and dint it.

[scottmcguinness172]

yea sean im following ur style im putting pollished alloy on the top for ya and some LED's i just gotta find the ones we have mad brackets that go bac to the chassie just didnt put the pics up ill put some up today i want my cruiser has the base coat on it still got the ture colour to go yet then can start putting it back to gether

You have done a good job it looks really good and has given me a few ideas. my wife is shaking her head already

Also what thickness is that made out of as I am thinking of making a rear bar with carrier and not sure what to use.
Thanks

[scottmcguinness172]

hey the rear bar is made out of 3mm wall thickness but we have braced it a fair bit

[Mad Cruiser]

Updates scott ?

[scottmcguinness172]

hey nah no updates yet i cant afford to do much to it atm as i need to save a lot of money to paint my cruiser this week ill put more stuff up asap

[pootrollin]

Update time for the rear bars. Scottie is busy on the car. Waiting for lights so we know what size to cut the recess. Johns is on his car and got a workout on the weekend at LCMP. Backed into a tree and did not move it, did not mark the bar either. Not completly finished either. More updates soon.

[Graham Stirling]

Looks great, any more updates lads?

[pootrollin]

No updates until next week. We are all away on seperate jobs around Aussie. We will all be home next week, so stay tuned.
