I see one way to fix the color shade problem of the "stinger" - paint the rest of the Jeep pink.

Hahaha looks like you guys had a fun night That's a good size the way it is, unlike most stingers that are just for looks, at that size it will be functional to protect the engine in a roll and prevent a front end over... You have some top notch fabricators working on Baby Blue, the Burke boys know there stuff!! Good luck with the build, it's nice to see ya back Rod!! Jeff

The day started out good ...but we hit a small set back....Here is the pipe we bend.... We all most put it on but, man I kept saying it is to small....so we had to shut it down and back to Jan's we added 24'' to the over all lenght... Here is a look of it in the bender... here is the difference in the two... Much happier with the new bend... Thanks Jan.. Rod

Man, that's gonna be a lot of leverage... Will need some serious bracing for that to hold up in a flip. First one looked more than adequate. Bill

BTW- what's with the gaps of the "inner fender"? The dimensions look right for clearing shock towers, etc, but it's several inches higher than it needs to be. Are you supposed to add something else to cover the gaps? Would have been nice if the metal came down a bit more to keep your engine bay clean. Bill
