When do we get to see pics of these strips?

Also email me a close-up pic of the ones you will not be using :naughty:

Hey Dan, yeah I forgot to take that pic for you sorry, but you're in luck, I took one today of a little piece!



Here are some pics of the strips. They are all done. Next I ship a little piece to the "powder people" to see if they can get it done without warping the strips. If they warp, they'll get painted.

Some pieces had to be done a few times...part of that getting it perfect thing I'm cursed with :biglaugh: - All the bends are in. That was the hard part being that these are aluminum and not rubber :aigo:

I polished a little piece just to see what it would look like. Just a quick polish...
