    No price estimate yet...

    As long as it's $317 or less I'll do it.

    So far one company has said that they can do it, I just haven't gotten a price from them yet.

    The other company has asked for pictures, thickness/type of metal, where I live, and how I would get it to them.

    I think I like the second company so far. Seems a lot more professional than just saying, "yeah, we'll do it" haha

    Yup, exactly!

    Monte told me to take it to a college and pay a student in a welding class $100 to do it... :rolleyes:

    Haha or how bout YOU just take a welding class, and do it yourself with the aid of the instructors knowledge!

    If I wasn't shipping out so soon I would've definitely taken a welding class. Maybe I can get someone down at Camp Pendleton to teach me when I make friends :)

    I can weld haha it obviously wouldn't look as good as a pro, but hand me a Miller MIG welder and I can do it. I just don't have access to a welder as of right now. As soon as I have a garage that will be my first purchase.

    What do you mean swapped wires?

    I ordered these to use as turn signals. I don't know if they are what I need/will work well, but I'll decide when they come in.

    He means that he flipped his turn signals and running lights. Running lights are now in the blinker housing. Blinkers are in the running light housing.

    I'd do it that way, but I like my running lights haha so I might as well do Monte's write-up.

    Youre located in whitman Wa?
    I am a junior in the mechanical engineering dpt at WSU in pullman and am just now finishing a welding course here. Got experience and access to tig, mig, arc, oxy, and a full machine shop. Additionally my prof is a really cool guy and very knowlegable in the subject and hes helped guys with projects like this before all the time. Id be more than willing to help you out if you need and can get logistics worked out.
