Just a teaser. I've got more done than pictured but wanna give ya something to look forward to. lol
All tube work was cut, bent by hand, and mig welded. All by me.

[theloudone]

nice.

[jthellfire911]

Thanks, I cut all the metal with my dremel, and hand bent everything, since I don't have a fancy bender. All joints were MIG welded.

And more pics, I shortened the rear of the body because I think it looks better that way.

Thanks man that means a lot.
I did some re wiring and put the battery on the pass side slider area. Wanna get the weight down low. I wanna do the vp hub mod on my wheels to make it a little wider and different. This body got messed up paint wise because I used the wrong paint, but I'm going to get 2 more bodies and get them all ready and modded.

Thanks man! You inspired me to start doing tube work again! So thank you!

[jthellfire911]

So I'm trying to decide if powdercoating the chassis and tube work is a good idea or not. I hate having to paint the metal work all the time. Anyone have experience with scalers and powdercoated tube work on them? I've got a deal on soda blasting the chassis to have it coated. Just wanna hear some ideas and thoughts on it.

I would recommend good old rustoleum in a rattle can over powder coat. Never powder anything that is exposed to abuse.

In the 1.1 world powdercoating is the way to go, it withstand abuse better than paint. That's why builders like mattzilla powdercoat the frames and cages they sell.

[jthellfire911]

Looks like I'll be working up to powdercoating the chassis. Just gonna take a little time.
