    Installed homemade shock tower braces today. Trying to get engine compartment finished by end of the month. Hoping to have Mav finished by end of summer. Got a long way to go!:)

    They are homemade from 3/4" tubing with welded plug ends connected to spherical rod ends. The plates are 1/4" steel, cut out with a reciprocating saw and shaped with a grinder. Thanks for your comments, looks like i'm headed in the right direction.:)

    These are getting kinda popular nowadays. Good thing too, cause they look and handle much better than the flat plate ones, in my opinion, and are so much easier to work around.
