so ahem, what have i been doing? i'm sure you don't care but i'm going to tell you anyway. >.<
ANYWHO. here's the story:
after driving down the highway to meet up with a friend i kinda snugged ass with the car infront of me, ok sure, bad idea in the first place. anyways, obviously there was a dead animal in the road, the car infront of me hit the dead carcass and then it slung up at my car. now, for the past couple of months i've been driving around with pieces of a dead animal in my radiator. yes, i got the larger pieces off but the itty bit's i couldn't remove. so at high revs my car smells like death.
moving on..
after this happened i looked into grilles for the miata. prices were outragous (not really) and i thought to myself "heh, with all the stuff i have here on the farm i can easily make my own." so i went for it. i did some searching on miata.net on making a custom grille just to get an idea of what i'm going to be dealing with.
"2 hours." TWF?!@#% no. never. not with me, took me 2 days to do this "simple" project. mainly because i have the attention span of a 3 year old, but that's another story..
so here it is:
THIS IS NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT
^ teheheh, had to point that out first.
i still have some sizing to do and when i put it on the anvil i got a little hammer happy and hammered areas i didn't want done, so, that made it look like poo on the outsides, as you can see. so now that i have that to kinda compare the size with and see where i failed at some angles i'm off to making yet another one..EH.
