    Weld it to a headache bar. That way it can be seen (and it can rust as I am sure it's not carbon/stainless steel)

    It's novelty and will never be "used" Weld it or drill it. Otherwise leave it @ home in the garage - your options are super limited.

    The idea is to have a mount that can hold any machete, one I'll actually use or the novelty one. I do quite a bit of wheelin' and it's never a bad idea to have one with you.

    And gotta remember, CA law says it must be visible but out of the driver's reach. So the back seat is fair game. I wish I could hide it, I have 1000 places if we could conceal "daggers or dirks" as their known here.

    While placing them on the front like horns would sound interesting (look at the rack on that Taco) to any but the safetycrats:eek:, I was thinking more with the flat sides of the blade back to back with a small spacing in between them like intake scoops on the hood. You could then take the machetes to have them powder coated so that they wouldn't rust. :)

    Sounds cool but I really don't think it'd be worth the hassle of dealing with police when they pull you over. "I swear officer it's not a concealed weapon, just a novelty zombie hunting machette" They won't care. :rolleyes:

    That would be SICK. But I don't think I can justify that kind of novelty. Especially if one of those comes loose on the highway :eek:

    Well that kinda takes all the fun out of it. Best place to mount a machete (especially a novelty one for maximum humor) would be right between your (driver's right) leg and the shifter.
