Thanks man!

So right now it's tore back down to bare chassis in anticipation of a couple large orders

I need to add a few things, move the servo winch mount etc. now the flat black was supposed to be a temporary solution. I picked up some gloss black industrial enamel for the tube work because the black seem to scratch fairly easy, but apparently flat black has the peoples vote

Oh and the way the rig was set up I was unable to use the r2j set up but that's alright it'll be going on my 62pyro inspired ford build soon. The Ridiculux will keep the ti links for now everything just seem to cycle much more smoothly with the suspension it has. I've also been tossing around the idea of buying some 2.2 tires just to see what it looks like with the roof line 1/2" over the top of the tires

Got a little time tonight to get started on a couple things I want to add to the chassis. Up front I dropped in a panel behind the tube to kind of break it up a little, also drilled the hole where the winch line will feed through the fairlead.



I also decide to toss a panel on the rear, this will allow me to add a spot or two for shackles
I'll try and get some pics tomorrow in better lighting

Thanks man, i think I'm my worst critic though, I HATE having to braze, it's clean but I'd rather have another welder to do this stuff.

We are all our worst critics, I'm rarely happy with the outcome due to me building up a big idea and having zero patience.1 reason I have a mig welder(instant gratification) brazing is an art...I just try to impress myself and learn from my mistakes , but seriously....patients are for doctors lol, looking good bud

Boosted this rigs gonna look sick with all the extras your adding. The purple looks killer with the flat black. Reminiscent of the late 60's early 70's when they'd paint the hoods and top of the doors with flat to reduce glare in the drivers eyes. I'm lovin it.

I've seen this rig in action, with both of its previous owners, it started great, and its just keeps getting better and better.
Oh yeah, love the color! Welcome to the plum crazy club
