Thenks, I have a magnet that I can set at any angle . I use it and another magnet to holt 2 pieces together while I get them heavy tacked together. I keep the biggest flat price strapped to my bench while I weld it. They stay pretty true. The ones on my truck came out good
 
Beautiful

Wow, thank you sir. Coming from an artist like you that means a lot!



I got the rear done and heading to powder coating tomorrow. I mounted the lights for test fitting purposes

I was trying super hard to have these done tonight, but I can tell that if I continue something's going to get messed up so I'm calling it for the night. I still have the tow hooks on the front to weld on and then I have to cut in the hole in the front for the winch cable to run through and mount the inner two lights. Once that is all done I will go through with polishing wheel and polish up all the angles and grind mark so once they are powder coated you will not be able to see them. Lots of work but from the pictures I sent to the customer he is super happy with them. He is coming up the day after Thanksgiving on his way from California to Spokane, in the first gen Dodge. He's a trooper LOL. But he is stopping by my place on the way up so I can install them for him so that's kind of cool I normally don't get to see the finished product in person on the customers vehicle
