I've made lots of bling stuff for my truck. I have to admit that I'd never buy this stuff, but since I can make it for free, I do. Please check out the link to my gallery...

DWO... you have some fabrication skills... What do you do for a living? My guess would be something with metal or access to machining parts.

Hi Cuda444,

I am a machinists for a company that specializes in small parts and assemblies. My boss lets me come in on the weekends. My co-workers actually make fun of me for coming in so much.

dwo, that is some cool shizzle. I have a question for you. I have some of the old spicer external lockout hubs with the plastic spinner (actuating ****.) Can you remake stuff like that out of aluminum? If you can, we should talk. PM me if you are interested.
