I too am sometimes option 4 lol!

Been there. Getting smarter in my old age though. I know my limitations. "make the call, write the check" is my new motto!

Not mine...I got out of the horse business about 15 years ago...

They make great neighbors though. I keep a big bag of carrots handy

I guess today is the day for me to see some cars/trucks that I didn't know existed!

Popular sticker package in the 90s, wasn’t a dealer or factory option

I kind of like the Magnum's. The front ends look like Cords from the last century.

Are you using a band saw or jig?

You score it like glass only more times on the score line.

Can't like that..

Because there's a probability that I'm eventually "That guy"

Other than Hoppy helping me with ignition, (he makes house calls if you are 'local') I only had one of those on the Duster. Couldn't get an upper ball joint out. Took control arm up to the garage. Brock put it in the big *** vise and zipped it out with an impact. Think he charged me $20...

Jig saw works good. We do a lot of Lexan guards at work. Datails we use band or jig, but got a special plastic blade for the table saw that does a good job. You can use a regular blade, but more teeth is preferred. Big teeth or feed too fast and will chatter or shatter. Too slow and it can melt on the blade...

Blade selection makes huge difference

@dukeboy_318. Here's a reference point

JIG saw, 1/8th thick smoke grey. It’s fracturing it even with a fine diamond blade

Luckily, I bought plenty of spare sheets haha.

Bummer, if blade speed doesn't fix that I dunno. Good luck!

 

[dukeboy440]

May go get a glass cutter and try that. I just need 3, 4.5 inch diameter circles.

For straight cuts, circular saw with fine tooth blade. Put blade on backwards.
