Hi everyone, i would like to show you guys my last proyect, is a front strut bar for my 95 cavy 4dr.

on to the pics.

firts, some random designs, im keeping the bases, but the bar final shape is not the one in the pictures.




then some fabrication






the bar itself is a 1/2'' sch40 pipe ( 22mm OD and 3 mm thick ) with some little bends.





i tack weld it wit the bases mounted on the struts towers.






then took it off the car and weld it completly, and also add some reinforces, put a nice coat of paint, and we gottt...............

Good work. I would have gone for a color that matches better or done it in all black though.

Nice.

I honestly thought at first glance (at the CAD drawing) that you had fabbed it from a pair of crutches.

thanks for all you coments guys, and well, it is not adjustable but it fits very well, it was welded mounted in the car so it fits like a glove

It wasn´t that hard to get it done, i bought a pipe, that cost $14 and is 6mt long, i use like 1.5mt not more than that, the paint is a dupli color spray can, anodized effect, well the anodized effect works when you paint over chromed or polished surfaces, but it works fine for me anyway, the spray can cost $6 , and i use like 1/3 of the paint. the rest is just scrap metal that i had, and tools.

so it wasnt that hard and it was cheap. also i can make more bars and sell them.

i can´t sell this bars to you guys, because im not in the united states, im from chile in south america, so we are a couple thousand miles away XD and i can´t either buy one on ebay for the same reason, the shipping will be too much.

and again, thanks for all you comments. bye.

Very nice work!!

u put time into a strut bar and left the engine bay looking like that?


i would just bought a cheapo!

Very nice work. It came out quite pro looking. I would have taken a little more time and care to paint it better, though. Your fabrication deserves more of a quality paint job.

that looks pretty good man! im surprised that the mounts allow the hood to shut.

the only suggestion i have is that if you make any more, grind down and clean up the welds a little more. if you did that they would definitely look pretty bad ass!

I like it... my gm oem strut bar is so stealth that you can barely tell its even in the engine bay.... i'm also surprised there are no clearance issues

thanks guys.

-my greater fear was the bases/hood clearance too, but it turn out find, the bases are 30mm high, and there´s no problem wit hood shut.

-the welds are no good looking, cause i weld it wih a n A/C welder, and 6011 rod, so it has´nt the best aspect, i wiil put some bondo on the welds of the next bar i made.

thanks

Yeah I was thinking of clearance looking at the pics too. I think personally I would have made the mounts flipped opposite of what they are now, kind of cupping the strut tower so to speak. But looks really good man.
