      If your name is on the list and you haven't paid. I need paid by Friday or I'm passing your spot onto someone else.

                  Looks like the end of the pipe is open at the very end where there is no weld (a gap). This sort of bothers me because if it isin't powdercoated inside the pipe that could rust from moisture and it also doesn't look as strong. But I don't see how you could weld that part anyway without "flattening" the very end of the pipe to get it close enough to weld, if you get what I mean.
                  Just an observation.
                  Also can we get a really upclose shot of the welds before they get powdercoated?

                    ^ this is true, the e30 trunk is very susceptible to leaking. i have mushrooms growing in mine, not that its a bad thing

                    im pretty sure it wont rust anytime soon but if u wanna be a negative nancy you could always fill the sucker with silicone or some stuff or semen

                      Vinnie30. The ends of the bars are open and the likelihood of these rusting out before your car will. Will never happen.
                      As for the weld. It's done with a mig welder. I'm not a pro. But I think I do pretty well and they're plenty strong.


                      I have made over 200 of these bars over the years and countless 24v swap trans braces among many more things that see a lot more stress than these bars will ever see.

                          Do you have a Luke box? I've had request to make them to fit with the boxes.
