Hey guys,

 

Thought you might like to see pics of my custom RSTB. I cast the brackets from Aluminum, the bar is 1x1" stock from Home Depot. Still have to drill out & mount the bar, but its pretty much done.

 

Brackets w/ the pattern I made to cast them:

Bracket fits nice :)

Bar fits quite well too.

I love well done custom work.

 

Big ups for this effort.

 

Are you going to start mass-producing at any point in time??

Thanks man - yeah I can do a production run of these. One pattern can make many parts :)

 

Wow you cast them, very nice! Where do you work???

 

I'm "unemployed" but I like to call myself self-employed :) I work in my backyard - casting is a hobby/business for me.

 

Thanks for the props guys!

I would buy a set of these also since noone seems to have any AWebs they wanna part with.

 

You buy fresh aluminum stock? or recycling crap like cans and such? Not that it matters, just curious.

Finished the bar up this afternoon. Pics!:

 

Drilled out the bracket for the bar bolt, as well as the bar:

Sorry guys my trunk is a complete disaster zone right now. I'll try to get better pics this week, I also have to cut the carpet around the bar.

 

I will start making some more brackets. I'm curious - what all other vehicles will these fit?

All my friends and friends of friends give/trade/sell me their scrap Aluminum - I mostly use alloy car wheels. Its super strong silicon-al alloy, casts extremely well with low shrink, and machines nicely too. Win-win-win!

I say group buy.. Im in!!! you should do brackets and bars for the front too

These will most likely not fit luminas, but it should work on cutlass supremes (NOT convertibles). What about regals?

Posted

If that was one solid piece and either powdercoated or painted, it'd be gorgeous.

 

Even bare though, it is extremely nice. Excellent work. :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure I'm in on this too. I mod'd some STB's to fit but I don't think it would be as sturdy as a cast part. Although I'm considering getting some pieces cut out of plate steel by a machine shop...

 

Get a good supply of strong material and I'm in! :dance:

Those look awesome. Yeah, get a handful of sets made up and I'm sure you'll sell 'em. I'd like a set for my TGP.

As I said B4, Big ups!

 

I gave you, your first thanks. You'll get the next one when my parts arrive in the mail. And when I say, arrive in the mail, I mean arrive at my shared warehouse in Nunzi's basement.
