Sorry for the delay. I thought I would be emailed if anyone replied to the post. I know on other forums I/you are automaticaly subscribed to a thread if you post in it. I have been having to use the thread tool button to subscribe to posts. Can I set it up to make it auto if I post in a thread?

Anyway, thanks mike It was actually alittile bit involved and time consuming.
What I did was find a piece of brass stock from a metal supplier that was close in width and thickness, but I had to buy the peice in a 10' long section (their minimum) I then cut them to length and had them sandblasted with a big industrial sandblaster to get the texture. The next step was taking them to an engraver to cut the font in the brass. The guys I used are out of bussiness, but maybe a trophy shop could do it?? Then I took them to my buddy to machine a taper on the backside to match the angle of the 4 wheel drive emblem. Next I took them to a chome shop. Once they were done I added some black paint in the letters and was done.
It was alot of running around to get it done.
