  4. Now that is pretty damn cool...I see that you even cut the indents in the cross-bars! Did you machine an indent for when the horn ring gets depressed as well?

    Looks nice Stefan!

    Good stuff. Is the sand heating the metal and warping it any. From the pictures it looks fine...........Maybe its the application method.

    How are you doing it so I can copy your method?
