I'm not sure I know what a top hat is. Also, the only welders I have acces to are alluminum mig welders. I used to be good at steel welding at my last job.

Ground Control makes these

Ground Control makes these and my friend does ALL the welding for them, I'll see if I can get a set off of him for cheap if you're interested.

I'm sure you could still probably get them made cheaper than I can get them. The owner of GC is kind of an *** (unless you drive a datsun 510), but I'll see what I can do.

I'd be willing to try to TIG

I'd be willing to try to TIG it for you if you sent me all the materials (hats and tubing). You might want to scavenge an extra set of top hats for me though...I haven't welded in about 2.5 months. I can also practice on some scrap before I actually do the hats.

adjustable top hats

I want to make some for my xB but have them threaded to allow adjustment via a motor drive to raise and lower the car - drop it for ground effects on the highway. I have coils front and rear.
