Default driveshaft loop i just built

well since i am goin to be running full slicks at the track i figured i should make a loop so i won't get hassled when i go threw tech inspection at my local track which i don't really think id have a problem anyways since its a truck. pretty simple to do only took a few hours and some scrap metal i had laying around it came out nice I'm pleased with the outcome heres some pics


list of parts i used
2-inch angle iron both 4-inchs long
1-inch flat stock both 4-inchs long
1-inch round mild steel tubing
1x2 rectangular steel tubing
all 3/8 grade 8 bolts and nuts
and a 12 pack
