Default Home brew cb mount

I took a 16ga nail guard that was 18.5" long and 6" wide and made a cb mount out of it. All I did was mark the center and line the radios center up mark the sides of the cb and added a 1/4" to each side.

Bent it at these line then bend the remaining metal over the top of the cb.
