| fabricate your own and have it chromed or powder coated (I happened to know of a feller that at one time was looking for some powdercoating pieces a while back) he is down TXs way. By doing that you can make it a one of a kind, I built one it's in the gallery i think if you need some insperation. cost about 200.00 less to boot
