    it's a relatively simple job if you have a bender and are good with it. as for not having dimensions - buy a tape measure and measure your car

    use an offcut to practice and calculate the stretch in the material from bending it and calculate the springback amount. then off you go!

    sorry butt wasn't trying to be a smart arse. seriously though, theres too many variables to have a set of dimensions and expect it to come out right. the best way is to start bending, offer it up and see how it looks.
    when i did mine i had a good idea of what i wanted and where i wanted the bar work to run but when we started bending it up it all changed - both for cosmetic reasons and because it was easier to do it a specific way

    theres a few pics of mine here
