Those who remember, I made my PERMAGRIN windscreen with 1/4 inch Lexan but I removed the protective paper prior to cutting it and it scratched. I then tried to polish it but that only made it worse, probably because I didn’t know what I was doing. So, I decided to make a new one using 1/2 inch Plexiglas and then I tried using my laser etcher to burn in the truck & SSR image but that came out wrong. So I used my Dremel to grind off the image in the shape of the Chevy bow tie and added a Vinyl SSR next to it.

That looks really good @Cruzrr66
I have been thinking of trying it myself, but haven't quite gotten the idea for how to mount it down yet.
I am also going to put lights in mine too.

I'm impressed with this idea, and have noted other windscreens that display a light around the edge and what ever logo.
How is that done, I cannot understand how the exterior edge shows white and most any other object put in the middle can show up white as well.

That really looks great. If you hadn’t said otherwise I would’ve thought your original plan was to put in that bow tie.

Thanks everyone. This product is very easy to cut but I tried using a router like was suggested and the bit caught and cracked it so I went back to a jigsaw with a fine metal blade and used a belt sander to smooth out the edges. The LED I used is Ice Blue and any marks refract the light and glow so that’s why the edges and the bow light up. I purchased a 1/2" edge strip and put the LED’s inside that. I plan on tracing the SSR with the Dremel to light the vinyl letters up as well. I’ll post pics when I do it. I’m also making a 3/8 inch one and probably selling it when it’s done.

You all are too kind. I love making things and the SSR is my new passion. I also appreciate those who would rather keep things stock because there’s a beauty and significance to that as well. As I’ve said from the start, this is a wonderful site and the people here are great, no matter the country they shout from. I look forward to meeting a bunch of you at the Vally Ralley in NC.

Looks good, you do good work.

That looks fantastic!! I wonder how polishing the edge would change the appearance of the light. I really hate sanding to get a polished edge, so I have done it with a propane torch. Timing is everything when doing a flame polished edge.

I tried the torch this morning on a piece of scrap and it does clear it up a bit but after everything I went through to get it completed I don't want to risk Murphy showing up again and causing me to ruin it. Especially now that I have a scratch free one.
