Default Homemade spreader bar is finished.

Sorry these pics aren't the best, but I only just installed it late yesterday afternoon and as I'd only finished my last nightshift that morning, my brain wasn't functioning all that well.
If anyone's interested then I can take some better ones. No driving comments yet either as I still need to finish plumbing up my new Hydroboost brakes and constructing my sidepipes. I'm working as fast as I can tho. :crazy:

What does it do? Is it like a strut bar on the non-fiberglass cars.
