Polish sword.

Jk

That is the start of the the permanent turbo brace. The small 3/4 tubes going through the 1" tube are the mounts. I'll weld a drain flange to them, so it will also double as the drain.

I'm glad you cleared that up. I thought you were putting a lift kit in the Vette and that was the ladder...

It's .125 Dom tubing, it's a bitch to bend in my manual bender, I don't see it bend or cracking.
