Longers7 720 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Mock one up using shitty ply first mate, then you'll less likely to mess up the kit your buying...... If you wanna add your own stamp to the kit one, then maybe re-laminate it in your preferred finish? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
