How did you get that cut out so perfectly. Is it going to have lights behind it? It looks good.

Thanks ya'll.

Yeah we cut the Ford script (using a similar font) into a sheet metal panel. I created a 1x1 square tube frame for the panel to sit on and to re-enforce the tailgate, after I cut out a large portion in the middle to put in the Lucite backing and have access to the lights and wiring.

I have a company in Virgina that wants to sell these for me. I dont want to put up much info. Might be considered advertising.

Thanks for lookin!
