Myself, along with my fabrication partner can make whatever you need that will look good as well as perform. You can check out the fabrication area of my website at:

http://www.mikenorrismotorsports.com...brication.html

This will give you an idea of what we can do. We prefer to use only stainless mandrel bent tubing. Let me know if you think this may work for you and we can set up an appointment for a look at the car and consultation of what would work best.

Hope this helps.
