nice job! how did you cut the circles that large?
mig or tig on the welds? i'd personally sand them down a bit smoother.

Yeah go with a powder coat to match your cage. Maybe smooth welds like mentioned above, however powder coating will cover a lot of that.

very nice. I was thinking it was aluminum but sounds like it is steel from your description. I like the natural color of Al, but Id match it to your cage I guess, like other said

Looks good, Run some rubber hose around the bracket were the bottles and brackets meet. Last year our bottles kept sliding back when we launched the car, we tightened the **** out of them but still did it. One time the bottle slid back and broke the fitting on the bottle...

Don't know how fast your car is but this was on a 5.30 ride

oh nice. In that case Id leave it the natural color, maybe sand it slightly. What kind of CNC mill is it?
