I need a donor car for a new light bar!

I recently made a new light bar for my car and the thread I posted pics in is getting me a ton of pm's for people wanting a light bar like mine made for their car. What I am asking is if one of you will buy the materials($30 max) I will make it and install it on your car here at my place in columbia.

The bar is made out of 3/4" angle steel 1/8" thick, 7/8" square tube, and 1.5"x1/8" strap steel. Mine was all bolted together and has held up very well but I can also weld it you would like. I am a certified welder through the Carpenter Union so you will get a good weld if that matters to you but even then you cannot see anypart of this bar whatsoever.

Here is a few pics of the bar installed on my car with 4 Hella 500's on it. I can also do the split spacing like the Palo Bar if you would like. I need to make another bar to get measurements on because it is easier to make another than take my car all apart again lol.





I would like to get an R50, R53, and a cooper with an Aero kit on it to do this to. At first I would prefer an R53 since that is what most of the requests are for. Also, I have enough angle and strap metal for 1 bar so all the 1st person will need is a piece of the tube steel which locally here where I bought mine at is around $8.

Please just post up if you are interested and hopefully we can set up a time to do this!

A little far away for you Iowans but guess I should spread the word. I am located in Columbia, MO.

A justa will work just as well. Let me know if you are serious. I just went past the place I bought the stuff at today and if you are the first person to get it done it will cost $10.

I don't live near you (las Vegas) but once you have the design complete I may be interested. Right now I'm torn between max looks (lights low in the grill like yours) or max functionality (at or above the middle grill).

Are you coming to AMVIV?

Hope the fact I'm a Jayhawk doesn't turn you away

edit: How would it look with just 2 lights instead of 4? How much of the bar shows? IF that were an issue to me, how hard would it be to modify? (can't decide if I want 4 or 2 lights...). If I did go with just 2 on your bar as designed, I would probably have to modify it because the spacing just isn't right for my tastes.

Is your cross bar inside the bumper cover (under the black "ledge") or visible?
