Cripples bending stingers, now I've seen it all.  Thing looks big enough to be a crevass saver on an Arctic truck.  Ghey...100% G-H-E-Y, Ghey.

Damn dude thats not cool, hope you get better soon.  Stinger looks alright, but when you are better there will be no excuse, I want to see pristine fabrication.

[Rocksurfer]

What you got a stinger while doing your stinger? 



Nice stingers.......



Hope the physical one goes away soon.

[crawlerdan]

went out today (wife driven') and i like the way it looks from inside, the un even bends at the top arent as noticible as i thought, i guess i was lookin harder since i made it. and it is strong as hell, pushed a shed around the inlaws place with no movin at all (about 1500 lbs)
im happy with it, i have an idea how to cover up the top later if i care enough. but man i like the way it looks on there! way better than the old bumper!! and about a million times stronger

[Hyena]

Looks good, are you going to bring it around to the fenders to like the old bumper?

[crawlerdan]

i dont know yet dood, ill let it sit for a few days til i can walk again and then ill look into what else i want to do with it.
i will prolly end up adding a bar on each side that travel under the headlights, but we'll see

[Shoyrtt]

Looks good Dan.   Hondas of the world, look out!

[crawlerdan]

well good news, i can hobble around again, kinda, but well enough to fabricate again...kinda
i added bars to the stinger today that wrap aroun\d the sides under the turn lamps and fenders, again i used the dom for this, later i will connect the two "eyebrows" to eachother to make them more rigid. i also capped the top of the stinger and you can no longer see un even bends at the top

i like it alot, wish i wasnt so hurt so i could go out and bash stuff with it

[crawlerdan]

here it is

Looks great man, but in order for it to be proven trail worthy, you must first go out and destroy as many modified Honda civics as you can find!!
