plexiglass? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ok i have access to a decent amount of fairly thick plexiglass. i was wondering what kind of ideas youll had as to what i could do with it, as far as truck wise. i thought about putting windows on the side of my console and putting a neon or something in it, but there are so many wires that it would be ugly. i am trying to figure out something as far as a cover for my sub but that really wouldnt be seen.... sooooo.... how about some ideas?

Good find!

that is alot of plexi.

you said it is really think. are you sure it isnt lexan?

it maybe, in fact i believe thats what it is, now that i think about it, its too flimsy to be plexi. (user text fits well again) damn

on well its still clear and would work if i could find something to use it on.

nothing wrong with lexan, in my experience its more expensive anyways

a lot stronger too.

The local junior high here has a computerized router that I am going to use on some plexiglass to create a nice image. I have heard lazers can do a better job and that some local buisness has one. Maybe you could do the same?
