Very nice indeed, and low mileage too.

Any plans for a lightbar or is she done?

thank you. and yes still want to add more parts like side steps, light bar, winch, rear fogs, whip antenna, but i really wanted to get the main idea down pat for halloween up here in Salem, MA. once i save up money I'm going to continue adding on the accessories. as its said, projects are never done.

added this yesterday, the 6 in the font page was so tiny and wouldnt sharpen enough to look good next to the 00, i ended up yellowing out the number 4, then adding a third 0 yellowing out a tiny piece on the right, and then copying the top arch of the 0 and adding it to make the "loop" in the 6... maybe more work, but it was a lot of fun! then went to staples had them double side print it and laminate it for less than 5 dollars.

I trolled eBay and Craig's list a lot, and on eBay I found a guy that was selling 4 separate and asked him to send me all for 120 lol, he did, and then found another listing on there for 35. It took me a wile but in the end I saved. I wish I had a site or something, but I just found them on eBay and haggled the guys lol. I'll take a look to see if I can find some and let you know.

Haha alright, and just have to luck out or save up I guess. Thanks. I still need a jeep so I'm in no rush.
