what would i solder it to, i was thinking of this idea but i dont know what would work...

you could get a normal bridge, cut up one end, add wires inbetween.

im making my case

Yes i noticed that that was happening in your "case" (haha gettit linus pun :P). All jokes aside if you wanted to go fully invidia, i would buy 2 or three sli ribbon cables and connect them. It would be easy and simple to do and also cheap

is there an sli bridge that can be used like this? (for a build )

 

As said by others you can custom solder together two sli bridges together to get a longer one but also be careful regarding length since it can cause instabilities or not work at times.

Here's a good example of a custom length one and one that was extra long but didn't work due to it's excessive length:

If I made a shorter version of that one do u think it would work?

Theoretically it should work the shorter version he had seemed to run just fine, one thing I probably suggest is to try shielding it from EMI from other components buy using foil tape or a metal tape over the cable/ribbon of sorts to see if that prevents issues. 

Making SLI bridges or extensions are a hit and miss kind of thing similar to PCI-E ribbon extensions sometimes they work great other times they may not but give it a go since SLI bridges aren't mighty expensive especially on Amazon or Ebay.
