When my Son worked at a scrap yard he bought some old road signs that were laying around.

I'll be adding a tray and foam and doing it much like Humpty did but its gonna be on my Rampage EDIT Mine is a cowl set up so I need a pretty big tray to cover the whole cowl.. I think I will attach the tray right to the cowl to make it easy
