Just a couple more pics of the prototype off the car. Like I said, this one is not the final product, its just tacked together for jig building purposes.

Thanks for the feedback. Im thinking $130 plus shipping for the 3 point. It will come powder coated.
For the single cross bar, unpowdercoated, unpainted, $50 plus shipping.

Lubu, this is a prototype, basically a stencil to build a jig off of. It is only tack welded at this point. Every part that you higlighted on the picture is going to be supported by a gusset, so ther...

Here is the progress on the jig so far. Here you can see it with the prototype mounted. Its about 90% done, just needs 2 more bar supports, and clamps.
