Those emblems would be awesome man. You could probably sell those on here Easily. How hard would it be to change whats in the center of the emblem?

I wish I could weld like you can... I have some things I want done to my truck and I have to pay to have it done, but most I can do on my own, OR, keep doing it till its right. :p

Hey Zakt, what drawing program are you using? I can't tell from the pic if that's a solid object or 2d isometric. Just curious, drawings look good and make it easy to see what you're talkin' bout. :thup:

By the way, nice job on the bed patch. I used a Spal fan on a 58 short bed I built. I was super impressed the first time I put power to it. It spun up with authority and put out some wind.

Im using ProE (pro engineer) it is a 3d solid... We have a laser cutter and bender at where I work so I just purchase the material :D The garage is a 4 car but probably closer to a 5 with the over sized sides and middle also one is 24' long and the other 22' (so the long bed dually fits). Heres what were looking at for a final product just need to nail down the width I want and put the sides and brush bars on.

Yea I heard the spals are real good thats why I went that way also. And BeCool radiator is using those also and is actually using the (2) fans I have on mine. They had theres just mounted on a flat piece of material but took mine to the next level :lol:

Here is the be cool set up with the radiator for ours and the same fans that are on mine. Bunch of thoughts with there set up, fans to close to the radiator alot of openings... so figured mount them away from the surface and enclose the whole thing so would pull air through the whole area :D
