Need a donor car for a New Lightbar design!

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!

Bring it, i can surely make one for it also! I do not know how similar they are to the R53 but it can't be that hard to make one. If you are serious about this, let me know.
