Default Custom Built Gload Brace with Driveshaft Saftey Loop

I just finished up building another scratch built item for my 4th Gen. This is a Gload Brace with a built in driveshaft saftey loop. I am actually suprised as to how light weight it is. I have access to a very large metal fabrication shop due to my job. So naturally I can build some very nice metal pieces with the machinery available. Both of the brackets are laser cut and the strap was bent using a cnc press brake. I test fit this several times through out the fabrication process to make sure I had the dimensions needed. After I was happy with the fabrication, I sent it through our powder coat line for sand blasting and powder. I think it turned out quite nice

sorry for the crappy cell pics

I was going to make the loop detachable (and I still might), but I was in a time crunch and I didn't want to jepordize the integrity of the loop. I will probably modify my 2pt Granatelli Subframe connectors to bolt into this essentially turning them into a 3pt setup. I'm trying to decide what I should build next...
