Default Got bored so i made some stuff

Work was moving slow on wednesday and thursday so i made a couple things. First i made some rods to hold up my t-tops at shows or cruise-ins. Then i just made a little firbird out of an aluminum plate. Not sure what to do with it, but like i said...i was just bored. And i think i need to shorten the rods by about an inch for a better look.

yeah i know. i was at work so i didn't test fit them till i got home. probably gonna take them back in sometime next week and shorten them up. think they'll look alot better. i was thinking about painting them to match the car, but they are stainless steel, so i'll probably just polish them up.
