Tube Bumpers

How would I build a set of Tube bumpers for a 92 ford ranger??

I planned to have strait piping accross the front then go off onto a 90 degree elbow or bend, but the elbows are 45 bucks a peice and the pipe is 156 for all of it

this is not including flat iron to mount them

Actually, i figured it I cut the strait part of the tubing on a 45 and the side peice on a 45 and welded them together it will form a 90, it will look "sharp"

I say take the 45 degree elbows, twist them 90 degrees on the z-axis, then tac um. Then turn them 65 degrees on the y-axis and tac um again. At that point, turn the straits into swooping 35 degree arches, opposing arches that is...and tac um to the 115 degree ZY-axis elbows. Put some frilly lace wrought iron in between the arches and tac it. Paint type-R on there and call it good. Just my .02 cents.
All I can say is It will "ROCK"!
