Default Raco Jac-Rabbit Aluminum Shock Towers New Photo

Here's a photo of the shock towers I made. If I have time this week I will get them on the car and take some photos.

I will take some pictures of the whole car as soon as it is finshed.

These are photos of an additional bumper mount I am working on. It will accept a 1/2 thick bumper instead of the stock 1/4" I have made it in quite a few shapes and colors.
I have also mounted a foam basher to the front of the bumper for another line of protection. This bumper is much wider and protects almost the whole front wheel also.

Wow, This took longer than I thought. I have built some more shock towers.
I have done them a variety of ways which I will list below the photo. I changed the shape slightly from my first set of towers. it now is shaped more like the original tower. I also went with two of the same clamps to hold the frame rail in place. I will post some new photos of them installed soon.



All clamps shown with each tower have the same finish as the tower.
1st. Tower is tumbled and shows slight manufacturing marks.
2nd Same as first then anodized Blue , shows slight manufacturing marks.
3rd. Same as first then anodized Red , shows slight manufacturing marks.
4th. Polished like chrome.
5th. Polished like chrome , then anodized Blue.
6th. Polished like chrome , then anodized Red.
