Clamp it to the rectangle bit of metal and hold above vechile. Start step 2 again cause it looks wrong. Once you have something looking good. Bend it again a bit further down. Copy for the other side.
Step 3 - Weld the bent bits of metal to the rectangle bit.
Step 4 - Make the really bendy bits by bending more metal. Drill some holes and spray it all black.
Step 5 - Put some bolts through it!
Step 6 - Have a beer or two! After the first 6 beers the light bar will start to look Ok.... after another 6 it will look ********ing amazing!!!

Presented like a true professional ... well done ...
Give us an update in a few months in regard to how well your clamp system holds up with use. Could be a real good option for lots of applications.
Just wondering though ... between the 6th & 7th beers ... did you run another weld over the originals shown in your photo ... When my welds used to look like that ( as they did for many attempts ...
) things had a tendency to come apart ...
