    These newfangled machines have a thing called "copy-and-paste". Ya oughta try it sometime...:biglaugh:

    My computer seldom has less than 4 windows open, and I seldom have less than 3 computers running at my desk at a time. Busy man, despite how much time I waste in this place...:rofl2:

    1/4" rod for the slats. Could drill the ends and center and use one piece all the way across. Tack on back side if required to keep from rattling.

    yeah i guess i start to forget not everyone can clean up steel as easily (made some parts of my own and some armor pieces as well). the valance lights were 70-72. 73 went to grill blinkers...

    Ok so it looks like the 70-72 blinkers will have to be used to use one of my grills...unless I come up with yet another idea.
    I sure wish I had a tig welder :(

    I know about the copy and paste, but it don't give the blue box and the QUOTE like above.

    Ok, this took a while but I need it to see if you guys like my ideas of faces. I don't know how much of this I can actualy do but I SHOULD be able to do any of them. I will try to do the ONE that is chosen the most, if any. Remember, I am still in the fitting stage.
    In case your wondering, all of these are thought to be done on flat plate steel. I am guessing to say that the thickness will be around 3/16". 1/8" to me would be too thin. The third one, the one with the driving lights, that one has ports behind the dl's. That was the best I could do at this time for drawing. The shape is also not what I wanted. I wanted a rectangular shape with rounded corners, but... yay?...na? Other design opinions are welcome, shoot me a drawing.
    Also, remember that the grill will be (should be) at the correct angles, or verry close anyway. So that means the bottom is sitting in a little and of course, the center is sticking out. That to me makes me like the fourth one, not as much as the second, but just as much as the first.
    I am even thinking about some wild show ideas. Makes me want a Mav just thinking about this :rolleyes:. If someone had the teeth grill, you could install a red neon light behind it :party5:. The flames? well, do they make an orange neon light? Maybe a blu flame? :biglaugh::rolleyes:... :idea: ... Orange blinker flames!!:cool: Or I could fit and put skull and or cross bones in the corners under the flames and that could be the turn sigs?
    Too ricey? Hope not, let me know.

    Hey Blu it is easy to put the quote box all you have to do is copy the quote area and you can do anything with it, you can change what the person said or anything

    all you need is these
    {QUOTE=blugene;576980}.... { /QUOTE} I changed the [] brackets to these brackets {} so it did not show as a quotation.

    Yes, I understand that. What boggles me is grabbing a quote from another thread and putting it into a different thread. Try quoting this post, go to the HHO thread, grab another post, come back to this one and NOW try to insert it to post. :hmmm::dizzy:
