AWeb80 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 I know the second gen w's have them...but do any of us first gen guys have them... I'm in the process of drawing up some....I already got the outline done....just got to figure out some sort of pattern to put in the inside..... I might do PONTIAC lasered out....and then PC the crossbrace black w/ a red piece underneath so PONTIAC shows through red..... ....and I thought i was done modding my car.... Quote
terryk2003 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 arent they the same size on the 1st & 2nd gens!?... Quote

Euro Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 damn more shit i have to buy from AWeb!!!! Quote
runt Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 You can get them for the 2nd Gens? Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 You have enough shit saying Pontiac on your car don't you?! Quote
digitaloutsider Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 If you made them for second gens, I'd pick a set up. Quote
J Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 dammit ADAM! i was oging to be working on these this summer! FUCK! you beat me to it Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 I'd like to see some pics of the ideas, but I'd likely be in on a set Quote
AWeb80 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Posted February 22, 2007 You have enough shit saying Pontiac on your car don't you?! well, the only thing i have that says Pontiac, are my doorsills.....I do have a few emblems placed around though.... damn more shit i have to buy from AWeb!!!! yeah....at that....I could have the ones that say Pontiac lasered in them up for sale, but as far as lasering in other names (lumina, oldsmobile, cutlass, etc) I won't do those....it takes way tooooo long to make the letters.... you cant just type the letters out and then use those, the programming software for the laser cutters won't read the text....all the letters have to be "hand-drawn" in autocadd....which takes forever....I just happen to have PONTIAC already done, so i'll just scale it to size. but, i can just make a smooth profile one for all you other guys and then you can add stickers or what not as you wish...... ....and if i do a group buy, they will have an option for powdercoating....and only in "basic" colors. dammit ADAM! i was oging to be working on these this summer! FUCK! you beat me to it lol at Jay....great minds think alike....just greater ones get to it first. Quote

99RegalGS Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 beware about making them too stiff. If you were to get in an accident they may cause more damage to the car then factory ones would have.. Quote
AWeb80 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Posted February 22, 2007 beware about making them too stiff. If you were to get in an accident they may cause more damage to the car then factory ones would have.. i'm thinking of going w/ 1/4" or 3/8" steel...not sure yet... they won't be too stiff....the stockers are pretty stiff themselves.

AWeb80 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Posted February 22, 2007 ....and Terry, i'll see how the 1st gen wbody run goes, and go from there on the 2nd gen ones.... Quote
Euro Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 oh yeah i wasn't expecting you to make ones with different names etched into the bars. A plain one would work just fine. How much ballpark would you think they'd be? Quote

92 GP Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 Just for everyone to know...ZZP's GenII braces run 70/set (but are chrome moly) Not sure if that's worth anything Quote
AWeb80 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Posted February 23, 2007 Just for everyone to know...ZZP's GenII braces run 70/set (but are chrome moly) Not sure if that's worth anything but what do they charge for shipping? and besides, chrome moly might be a tad more expensive than regular steel, but all their braces are is just a tube w/ a end smashed and welded to a bracket....that can't cost more than "maybe" $10 in materials and a little more in laber + paint. i'm not knocking them....i'm just saying.... I work in a metal fabrication shop w/ 135 employees.....i know what things cost, its all realativly about the same.....unless thier metal supplier is screwing them...lol Quote
Andrew Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 the only ones i'd consider buying are the ram air tech billet aluminum ones from 3800performance. for the most part, replacing these side supports is for show and those ones are HOTT! buuuuuttttt they are $160 Quote
