Z-train Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I was down at my friends fab shop the other day seeing about building a custom bumper for my RAM and got to talking with him about welding "diamond plate" on the top of the bumper tube and a few other places. On the way home,i got to pondering(always dangerous).I came up with the idea of having door panels and cab panel(it's a KC) made from aluminum "diamond plate" and then powdercoating to match the tail light bezels & bumper. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment

Thoughts? Not a bad idea on a truck. I think it would look pretty good. Would create a lot of noise I would think. You might want to put something on the back side to insulate it.

Z-train Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I would use some type of "captured nut" so i would be able to torque things tight. Quote Link to comment
