    I think Bryant built his own also, they look really hardcore, don't remember how much he spent on them, I think I asked him once.

    Just think about it like this...by the time you round up all the materials you need, and I doubt it will be a one-stop shop...then do the actual building of these, you are going to have several hours in your finished product. I looked at the cost of all the components ($100 or so), machine work, and my labor. I don't see any way I can come out just to try to save a couple hundred bucks. Not to mention the possibility of trademark infringement. I guess if I wasn't working or just had plenty of time then it might be different. But regardless of who makes them they work great...assuming they are made right. (y)

    if I worried about ...how long i work on my car and how much something cost to build for it...I wouldn't have a HotRod...

    some people...build their own hood and some people pay someone else to do it.
    i built my own traction bars, some pay someone else to build them...:yup:

    Jimmy, let me know if you hear a clunk now when you drive.

    I think when I replaced the rubber bushing with the aluminum one, it transfers the sound to the frame so i periodically hear a clunk when the suspension unloads.

    Since you just made the swap, see if you hear that as well.
