Thanks for the supporting comment. I have no idea what his problem is, I am beginning to wonder myself, maybe he is Ford truck jealous?

And I have no idea what this if for? So I posted some truck pics, lol.

I reported his post on my buildthread so that maybe his post on there will get deleted.

That "67Camarodude" has written the exact same horse hockey diatribe in no less than 6 replies. Most directed at Rich, and anyone else. A few minutes ago I wrote to a moderator - LxMan1- asking to have him banned. We'll see.

I tried that website. I purchased one waited a month and no package. Tried calling and emailing them but no answer. Did that for another month til finally I gave up, reported it to paypal and got my money back. Very frustrating!! Thanks for the suggestion though...it seemed like a legit place to order bug shields from

Darren, I had the same thing happen to me when I placed an order with Armadillo last summer. Pay pal got my money back after a couple months.
The bad thing is: the site is still up and they're still taking orders. You would think the law could do something about the scam.
I tried Lmc before I went to Armadillo last summer and even tho the catalog shows them they have been unavailable since at least last summer. Like you I'm still looking.

How much would it be? I've been talking to some locals and if I can just find the aluminum piece I could get the lexan or plexiglass. There's one on a 1971 pickup orange one but I don't know if the hardware and bracket would fit my 1978 camper special.

Try somewhere like a tractor supply or Lowes for the aluminum.all those places have it . I think a piece of angle for the leading edge and for mounting to the underside of the hood and a flat stock piece to sandwich the lexan in should work .

I believe that's my best opinion I just need the dimensions for the aluminum piece.
