    I need to have a couple things made for my 359 Pete. Both items need to be high quality stainless steel. I would prefer 304 grade with heavy gauge. I found this 12 gauge custom place out of Canada. Has anyone had anything built by them? How did it come out? Also if anyone has any other place that they use with good results I would love to hear about them. I’m not looking for installation, so they can be anywhere.

    @Ruthless - ?

    Just in case they’re not on your radar - Brunners in Joplin.

    Yeah Ruthless and I bounce stuff off each other a decent amount. Brunner was not on my radar. I will call them, going from their website they seem to be up my alley. Thank you

    I’m looking to build a box for my deck plate, kinda like those airline boxes you see in the chrome shop but without airline set-up and larger. I wanna face four 4” lights up onto the front of my stainless trailer. Also shine three 4” lights down the deck plate. Hard to explain in writing, makes sense if in a drawing or looking at the truck. Then the other piece is for the rear center panel. Something larger, boxed off, and also special light configuration. Neither of these things exist, but will def look cool with my set-up. Just need the quality to hold up, because they will look stupid if not done right.
     
    Oxbow and blairandgretchen Thank this.

    They’re pricey, but will take the time to design and fabricate to your needs.

    @Old Man has used them before too - from memory.

    I buy my toolboxes from them.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    I know of a guy who had a W900L done by 12 Gauge. He used to haul equipment to the shop I worked at quite regularly. Looks like they did some good work on it. This is the truck:

    Any fabrication shop can build you whatever you need if you provide the drawings.

    RLK in Georgia has come up a few times. I figure I have about two months before the weather actually breaks up here. So if I can send my drawings out soon, that will give them sometime to build and we will be good to go by spring time.
     
    PacManTrap and Oxbow Thank this.

    Another vote for Chase Shiver. I've had nothing but great experiences all around with RLK, 12 guage not so much...
     
    PacManTrap Thanks this.
