Why steel instead of Aluminum? The grills have a curve to them. I got that curve using a technique that involves a BFH. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I'm not sure aluminum would stand up to that. Plus aluminum should be anodized to protect the finish. I'm not 100% my guy can cut 1/4" aluminum, although I bet he can. And finally, I had steel on my mind when I drew this up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)I might be interested in a set since my oil coolers sit right behind those holes now under the headlight buckets. And I have a front bumper top that is in a lot better shape than that one wink-wink-nudge-nudge There's a good chance I'll make a few of these. I'll keep you posted and I might be interested in the bumper top. |
