I have the contact info at work. I cant remember the exact name and tried to google it but couldnt find it, I'll look tomorrow. You have to decide what you would be willing to pay before you call them. Its high if you compare to a single custom set and you still need weld them your self. But if I wanted to reproduce them it worth it to me. Thats why I thought itr would be worth the money if I needed to build a few sets over time. I found a couple shops that will do this, you pay for a min time for design and engineering then pay them to bend up the tubes. That first time engineering fee will hurt you if your not expecting it. LOL
I'll get the info
Did you use your stock steering box and shaft? I have a rack and pinion so I plan on re-routing my steering down under the headers through the cross member to keep it out of the way.

I'm seeing everything from schedule 10 304L pipe being used to 409 series. It seems like everybody uses it but I know how it reacts to heat. It work hardens and cracks after extreme heat cycles. I'm guessing my 16 gauge mild steel tubing wont hold up turning red very many times. I may end up with schedule 10 pipe instead of .083 304L tubing that I bought.
