Fatman,
What a great idea. I am pretty good with sheet aluminum, tin snips and metal bending, and I have a small ball peen hammer. I will have several open top cars, so I plan to use all of the suggestions on this board for different cars.
I also think that I could print out one of the pictures that Steve sent to me, on glossy machine glossy, with adhesive back, and then stick it onto a piece of tin, spray paint it with a sealer, and then put the piece in the car.
Thx,
Mannyrock
