67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Not much new to report. It's been hotter n hell out here. We had some rain, it's made the humidity go waaay up making the heat even more miserable. Yesterday was 103°, and today it was 104°. I have other projects I have been working on. I may have to be done with this until cooler weather prevails. I did figure out what screen I want to put on the 4x6 speaker grille frames I made awhile back. With selecting stuff like this sometimes the right thing has to "pop" when you see it. Well today at work, I was dumping some scrap metal from my department into the scrap dumpsters. I spy some perforated aluminum scrap. I'm like hey now this is exactly what I am looking for. Well the sample piece in the pic is actually too thin and easily dented because its .015" thick. But the holes are .078" diameter which I like. I did find on ebay however the same aluminum perforated sheet in .040" thick with the same .078" diameter holes. Not sure if I want to JB weld the screws in place making them like studs and HB weld the screen over the top and shape the edges, or mount the screen from behind leaving the frame exposed. I will be picking up a 24"x24" piece of this stuff since I will be making similar grille covers for the 6x9s
