For those who have done it..HOW did you do it??
Here's in trauma's, I like this one and want to make a similar one for my MONSTER tank

I can probably get the metal threaded for screws, but Where do I get the large piece of bent metal??

a package deal? you have to buy the metal, bent it, drill the holes, and then tap the holes. it will be cheaper tapping it yourself as taps are like 3 bucks single and the metal will be about 2 bucks.

blake first i designed one(i took drafting gnad design in school)

then i made a wood model to see if it owuld be good that way then

i found some scrap aluminum that is the exact same width of my grip frame

**the aluminum happened to be good to bend without weakening the metal

i stuck it in the vise and hit it with a mallet a few times then then i bent it in another place the same way

after that i saw off the excess and rounded over the ends

then i measured the holes and drilled them you dot have to tap(thread) them

after all of that i polished it on a polishing wheel

Ok, hmm...seems like I have my work cut out for me. Thanks trauma, I'll do what you said.
