    Ok guys so after starting a satoshi style i decided that just adding tabs is not good enough for me, although it is better then most mesh it is not easy enough to install the mesh look great inside with the 1/4 inch trim. Im putting tabs in different spots so we can screw it in :bananadance: i will post pics of the cadd file when i finish it later tonight!!

    But here is the powder coat finish and the start of the satoshi but i think you can get a good enough idea!!! the powder coat was $30 its not perfect but you cant beat the deal!

    Excellent design but am more impressed with your attention to detail, thanks. I would say I'm in when you consider the grille done.

    Cheers
