its a simple process..takes about an hour...u dont need to be a rocket scientist to perform this task. just need a dremel, some chicken wire and a glue gun or epoxy.

but if you insist...

I still do them in my spare time. They took my thread down from the parts classified section..... They said something about being a sponsor! Lol! It's all good. Jrpimp00 not bad at all. It almost looks like one of mine..... Carguy8888 your bird needs more definition! (No offense) but if it works for you roll with it! I'll never discourage anyone from trying it on their own....If you take your time you can do it. A dremel and steady hands is All u need .... But If you need one hit me up. I do have one blank left. Or you can send me yours to be modified.

Good thing about mine is that it only cost me about 6 bucks. And that was for a 8'x3' roll of mesh from home depot.

Donnie, aka Superman_00TA, does nice work on the plate fillers. I think you'll be happy if you buy one from him.
