Very tasteful, Rodny.

Can you explain exactly how you worked your blue magic for those of us who haven't a clue?

Thanks,
the neon(http://www.elwirebestbuy.com/liwicule.html) goes around the out side edge of the plexi, you can use the tape they use for air condition ducts (it's silver) to hold it in place, this way you will have something the it helps reflect the light in to the plexi, paint the front and the back of the plexi flat black, the light only will show on the edge of the circle the you cut for the subs,(you can do any shape or letters, some places will cut the plexi with a laser, clean cut, no sanding ) you have to polish the edge of the plexi, after cutting the piece and the circles you have to sand it with like 120 grit ,600,1200 and 2000, after that, polish it with some type of polish compound, some people don't polish the edge they just use sand paper to give it the a different look (like a frost finish, but you have to use aqua color neon), you can use any color whatever it pleases you.
You just drop by the shop and I will show you how to do it! it will be a lot easier then me trying to explain it if you want, I can try to do it in spanish

wow

I very much am in awe and inspired by the fantastic work you've done. Sonnie was right, more pics, not less - well maybe less of your ugly mug and more of the build!!

Reminds me of when i sometimes watch American Hot rod, the bits I really like are the bits where you can see what they've done, how they did it and then learn from it, I feel that way after seeing your work, thanks for that!

When I win Josuahs drivers ( shameless aren't I!) I will be able to take much inspiration from this thread.

The idea you had Sonnie about a prize for the best build thread is a good one, especially if the documentation of it (if not the quality, as who could match it?) is as entertaining and comprehensive as this one.

It is threads like this that quite frankly make my day!!

lots of love

terry

Thanks Terry!!!

I'll see if there's a direct flight out of Copenhagen.

Thanks for the details, Rodny. You're an artist!
