SPAM: Backplates for sale

Does the water jet method allow you completely finished edges so that
you don't have to smooth them down?

I need to replace the rubber door ding protectors on my Jeep... The
right side loosened enough that I ripped them off and I'll probably do
the same with the left side... I was thinking of having some 1/8"
aluminum diamond plate cut in the same shape and glued there as a
replacement... While I'm at it, I might just get a diamond plate
backplate cut out if you send me the CAD files... That ought to be a
hoot the next time I'm diving the springs in the Florida Panhandle...
Of course, I'll send 'em your way if any of the redneck tek divers want
one... Of course, if there was a way to cut the Stars & Bars into the
backplate, it would definitely be more popular around there... Quite a
different culture up there as compared to South Florida... Might be
because South Florida is mostly just inhabited by people from somewhere
else whereas only the natives live in the Panhandle... Or people
displaced by whatever the current hurricane might be... <grin>

Anyone could put a decal on or have it painted... Having it cut into it
would be considerably more impressive... The stars would probably be
cut all the way through, the blue stripes would still be left as metal,
the white borders seperating the blue stripes from the red background
would need to be cut, but there would need to be intermitant pieces
left in so that the whole thing didn't just fall apart... The red
background would also be left as solid metal...

Considering the fact that I've seen teenage girls in Bars & Stars
bikinis at some of the springs in the Florida Panhandle, I suspect it
would go over well there...

Of course, pictures like this definitely swell one with southern
pride...

I'll take three...

of the bikinis...

for my wife.

Yeah, that's it.

I am just slammed right now.

130 hours of OT in the last 30 days.

Let me whip this dog, and I'll get with you on the hobby shit.

Who do I gotta sleep with for some of those 3/8ths back plates?

How many do you need to make a run?

What do they retail for? <weg>

You can sleep with whomever you want, Bro.

They are 1/4", weight ten pounds, but for you I would make a custom just to
fit.

Normally, I get 28 plates out of a 4 x 10 sheet, but the price of a sheet
has doubled since my last run.
