Looking for a metal shop

[RC3]

So, I want to get a brush guard for my car. But no one makes a good one. Anyone know a metal shop that could fabricate me one? 

This car needs more character. It is still lacking. And there are more lights waiting to be installed.

Wish I had that much garage space! I need to get it cleaned out this year.

I wish too. Thats the shop where I work at. Brought the car in to install the lights. I cant get anything in the garage. Bel air takes up too much space.

I've seen lots of LEO cars with the pushbars/brush guards on 'em, ask them.

I think you posted the wrong picture; that’s a picture of a Subaru.

Bel Air, Subaru, bikes, trucks. Man make decision! You're as bad a me with picking my favorite 9! 

That will be an impressive setup when finished...heck it is now.

Better and cheaper than a jeep.

Im looking to have one made so I can mount a winch. So, the police style bars wont work.

I suspect having a shop make one will be cost prohibitive. I'd guess an aluminum one that won't weigh 400lbs will be $2000 or so. 

And there might be a reason why there's no aftermarket parts available. I'm guessing that mounting one will require body modifications.

They do. Overseas. Most wont. Ship to the states. Thats the problem.

Its as simple as calling around to metal fab shops.. I would first try to find out if you can hang  that much weight off of your front without any problem..

Just buy this on eBay and be done with it. Lol

You could try Welding Unlimited in Franklin, but they aren't cheap.  Don't know until you ask.

I love it! That's great! I'd drive it around the neighborhood and wake up all those rowdy party guys that don't let me sleep!

Sounds like a great project for you to learn (or brush up on) your welding skills.

Im not allowed near any of the shop welders nor allowed to start fires on premises again. I would buy a welder, but I have no room to store it.

Im the rowdy one

I dont know that many shops, and I want to mount it to the chassis for weight purposes. There are plently of mounting spots under the car.

Growing up there was a guy around with a 4x4 Camaro and El Camino. My FIL converted his conversion van to a 4x4 to use hunting years back. All kinds of crazy crap around.

Sadly, no. Also, there was no reactor on the back of it
