Im planning on building new front and rear strut bar for the celi and just had a few questions for those who built your own strut bars, what kind of metal did you use?? What diameter of tubing did you use?
I could easily buy on, and on this forum there are some sweet ones, but i think it would be really cool if i made it myself. |
