Re: It ain't over till it's over.

Thanks guys! As you can see, the frame was made out of 2x4's with the edges dado'd, 3/8 in. plywood attached with screws. Foam from a old couch added with batting on top of that, then covered with vinyl from Hancock Fabrics. Originally was covered with some crap from Walmart, but was easily stained. To mount them to the truck, we used a metal yard stick attached across the top of the wood frame that slides down where your window sweeps are on the door, and two screws in the bottom. And you are correct, the handle is screwed in from the back. The handle itself was rescued from the dumpster. It's actually a top rail from a baby crib. Paint is Duplicolor Ground Coat Metalcast with skull stencils and Duplicolor Smoke Metalcast with red Metalcast sprayed over that with three coats of clear
