Why didn't you have the bars bent at those angles versus cutting and welding?

Sourcing someone that has time to do them at an affordable cost is something I'm having trouble sourcing.
I found one company that would but told me they start there minimum orders @ $300-, no exhaust shops have 1" dies for bending, Pluming & electrical guys say the pipe is to thick, and the thing they bend with would put a bend radius the size of half the pipe. The only other option was to buy a $90- Harbor Fright bender that needs to be secured down and I have no place to do that, not to mention that I have no clue if that would have even worked cause I've never bent a pipe in my life.
So I didn't have the bars bent cause I did what I could do and the way I know how to get it done, just as I had stated before!?

I tried covering that, but here you go.
See my car. I've had a tie bar for awhile, I worry more about my bumper.
Anyone I know that has had or has a front tie bar on our cars won't go without one and loves the improvement in handling, I don't think any of us think about clearance as a major issue.
If anyone seconds this statement, please intervene and give your opinion.
Honestly: I really need to sell a bar or 2 soon to cover my 10 x 40 storage unit cost that my 2 favorite cars and all my parts, tools, and car stuff is in. I should have paid that by the 7th. Can't even really buy groceries ATM and I'm catching a lil crap from the girl cause of my investments. I was really counting on you guys here. Please help me out and buy some bars, PLEASE.Last edited by 93_EGT; 07-11-2010, 10:26 AM.?
