I guess I am going to have to invest in a metal break. Ha ha.. Right now, I am only using and angle grinder with a cut off wheel, so each piece is individually cut by hand.. After boxing the holes in, it looks like a bit more of what I am looking for.. I will be addressing the flow of the corners and the overall positon (front to back) of the valance, but I need it a bit more sturdy to work with it. It is running the curvature the bumpers will actually run from side to side, so it should blend in.

It may look a bit bulky in the pictures, but it is actually on 3 and 3/4 inch tall, but photographs larger for sure.. I will be cutting a bit more of a curve on the ends to fit under the fender work better, which should slim the width appearace down for sure.

Had a nice guy by the name of Charlie from the Yahoo 1800 list send me a quick photoshop picture that eliminates all the tape.. LOL He tweeked the front on photoshop and installed the side chrome I am not using, so it is a bit off, but very cool... I wish I was any good at photoshop.
