    Pm'd Tyler about the light hoops. UPS changed how they charge to a size based system instead of weight. So the hoops would be $167.00 to ship to me :frusty: Currently working on Fedex/USPS for that.

    Emailed about a new welder on craigslist. Stupid good deal, hopefully I can get it. :D

    Are the letters steel? I would tack a bolt on the back aide to really secure the letters on there... Thats a pricey piece of metal to just have adhesive tape on it! Even if it is 3m outdoor

    I thought of that but it'll probably warp the shit out of it.

    nope, aluminum. also you'd more than likely have to drill through the mesh as the slots are not very wide.
