Hi Jeepers,

Make the letters from metal stock maybe 1/4" thick (or the approximate
"thickness" of the Joop) and pre-drill each letter. Then using short sheet
metal screws, attach from the inside of the Jeep. Just a thought. Have to
find some easy metal to work with and jig it, aluminum maybe?

Re: Sheet metal & Jeep question
How about this. Talk to a water jet shop and have them cut you the Dooro
letters out of an appropriate thickness of steel. After these are cut,
grind a radius on them and weld or screw them to a thicker plate.
Sandwich a piece of soft body steel between your die and a chunk of rubber
and stick it in a big press. Make the blank a little bigger than you want
and then cut out the Spot you want next to the Jeep logo and position the
plate and cut it to fit your hole. Weld all around and grind flush.
You can probably go to a sign shop and have them cut some vinyl letters to
finish the job or cut a paint mask you can peel off.

they come up with this striped stuff.
