Cheap wheelie bar

[flandersander]

I want to make a wheelie bar out of scrap meterial. I live on a farm so I have TONS of metal and crap lying around. Anybody got any ideas?

Give it a suspension so that when the wheelie bar hits, it will absorb some of the shock, as well as puch the front end down. It's makes all the difference in the world on my drag car for getting the front end back down.

Well I want to be able to ride the wheelie. I was thinking something just to keep it from flipping over.

I was NOT 'taunting' the legos, I was just saying that was a good one !
But seriously, legos rule, I used tp play with them when I was a kid ! BTW, no I do not have kids, so I can honestly say that I have never stepped on one at 3am barefoot, going to the bathrrom before !
