Re: frenched in my side markers today

I saw your truck at Showfest a couple of months ago. Looks great, with some suttle mods that you wouldnt notice unless you are into these trucks. It really made me wish I could have brought mine down. Are you coming to ///RA this weekend in Millington?

Do it! Those are some nice pieces! I just bought some that look very similar from marquez designs. $250!!

I think they would be a great seller! Nice truck!

I use Featurecam and an older version of Mastercam. I have a good post for Bridgeport machines. In fact, I have torq cut 2 machine that we use every day. If you have any drawings I can make good g-code for you to try. Let me know if I can help you.
