ROFL, Yeah its a trailer hitch. But for $5 its the perfect thing. It is the right size and almost the perfect shape right out of the box. Plus its solid steel and weights a ton.

And Rice, as soon as I get some more time, I will be doing a run of maybe 20 of them. Plus I might be putting them up as ROTM prizes.

The first one I used a solid bar of steel. The second one I started with a trailer hitch ball. LOL

As for cutting them, I used a lathe to shape it, and then with it still on the lathe I used an angle grinder and a flapper wheel to finalize the shape and polish some. Does that answer your question? Well enough? I guess I could do a DIY on how they are made. LOL Because everyone has a lathe just sitting around. ROFL

I had thought about doing a run of maybe 20 and selling them for about $25 a pop.

I had also thought about doing a few with the HCF redline logo for ROTM prizes.

Very nice, but i'm still a personal fan of the S2000/CTR/ITR shape myself... sorry lol

But man that is probably the most unique idea i have seen yet for making something on a car, and the best job i have seen too
