Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

You want real as in I can dump this beast on my head and walk away? OR, do you want Memorex (Looks good but don't hit it with a hammer):rofl1:
If the latter is your choice, there are several options.
There is a guy here in the area (I'll have to get you his name and number) that will bend and weld a bolt in unit (remove a couple of bolts and it's out of the way) thats strictly a show bar.
Andreh at Insty Tune & Lube has also built a set.
Again, if it's just looks, uses some exhaust piping or thin walled steel for the hoops and a steel/aluminum plate for a base. Fairly easy to make.
If you get a chance, come on buy Insty Tune & Lube on saturday afternoon around 5pm and we'll show you how it's done. Pretty simple actually and relatively cheap if you DIY:thumbsup:

You'd need some sort of "kicker" or support bar as well at the very least.
Not sure how much it would cost since the steel used to build it is much stronger than the exhaust tubing we're talking about.
Good time to do it is definately while the carpet is out.
As far as padding goes, thats just padding...pick your poision
