The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

Here are some pics of the ruined stab bar...
Everything was looking good as I got these 3 bends completed.

Even the forth bend came out in the right spot. BUT, if you look at the tube where it is exiting the bending die, you can see a silver line wrapping around the tube a couple of inches out from the bender. That is the tangent line where the bend I am doing in the pic NEEDS to be... Heavy sigh.

The new design eliminates the two 90's at each end of the bar. I widened the bar about 2 inches and moved it forward a bit.

I have made some progress though. I got the lower stab bar mounts made that weld to the lower control arm.





This is a piece of 1" x 1/4 wall DOM that I beveled on one side to sit on the arm and provide a good welding surface.
