How about a contest. As long as @vicious1 approves that is.
I need some new struts for my full sheet LR3. I am design challenged on this. I’m stuck. Cant come up with anything I like and don’t want to go with the same thing I already have. Wanting something new and different.
As most know I work offshore so I will be leaving out next week and wont be back until 9/14 so that should give plenty time for anyone that wants to participate.
Objective…
1450mm Strut for LR3 with 10 braces. Can be just the front strut or all 3… your pick. If you chose to do all 3 I plan to run LEDs under this one like I did my smaller LR3 if that makes a difference.

Needs to be able to be milled with 1/16" or larger end mill. Have NOT have good luck with V bits in aluminum turning out well.
Can include the nick name for the LR3 but not a requirement. “Fat Albert” is the nick name. Blue Angles not the tv show. Changing it up. I’m truly sorry to everyone that has already put in effort using this. But I just cant get there with it. Lets narrow it down to something that truly pays homage to V1 and the Lowrider.
Will be cut with just screw holes, not the slots so no need to have them if modeling from scratch.
I am open to 2 sided milling but will need heavy instructions lol. Have only tried it once and it did not go well.
As @bitingmidge mentioned the idea of though holes with back lit LED is something that would be awesome as well.
That’s all I can think of. So the rest is free choice.
Winner will be decided on 9/15 and will receive a $60 gift card to V1 Shop
Ryan I hope this is ok. If not I will surly take it down no problem.
Edited to change the price of the gift card… Just enough for that new Jackpot Board
Edit 2 to add the back lit LED mention
