| Cutting Metal I have mentioned the stuff I cut to go on our trucks, and finally took pics of Heathers truck. The mudflaps are just Aluminum plate about 3/32" thick. They are rivited on to the stock mudflaps. The danes on the grille are epoxied onto a bolt and as the bolt goes through the grill a smaller plte and nut goes on the back side to hold it on.
I covered the aluminum with decal material from a sign shop. It comes in rolls around 20-24" wide and they sell it by the foot. As can be seen in the pics they still look good after 4 years.
And yes I like red.

| Zany idea, I like it a lot, but cannot see me customising my little MG. I think it needs a truck to carry it off!
I did have a truck, but a friend needed it more than I, so bought it from me!

| Dogs Alan that is so cool. What kind of mileage do you get with that dually?
Of course you know how I feel about folks that post stuff about dogs. WD too.
By-the-way here is a baby pic of our baby. She would be just a mouthfull for one of your "danes." Blanca Baby.jpg

| The dually gets 18mpg. its a long box quadcab, and the mileage is about the same as a deisel. I had to factory order it to get the gas engine ect. but just love it and still laugh at the ones on the lot.
Chances has met hundreds of dogs and all kinds of amimals including deer and a bear and has yet to be aggresive with anything. There is a Jack Russel that I would like her to go after though,noisy little$%^&^.
