I got most of the wraps on , man what a difference , loving the look of this rig. [IMG][/IMG] Still have to make a decent front clip. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] I made up some sway bars out of stainless and put dots of weld as bolts on them to add to the scale looks . ( I REALLY want a laser welder at home ! ) [IMG][/IMG] Still a lot of small details to add , I want to get it pretty well finished before I run it , there is only one chance to get a heap of showroom pics before it gets beaten on. |

Congrats on building an absolute ripper of a rig! If only I lived closer so I could see it in real life.

Wow that turned out fantastic man. The wrap pulls it all together nicely and the small details like the mirrors and dash add a lot!

Which interior piece did you end up using? Did you like use the 0.5mm alloy sheeting from bunnings for your panels? I was fiddling with some today as I need to make new panels for mine. |

Yep, the sides and hood are .5mm alloy sheet , super easy to work with and takes a dent well , get some scale trail rash happening. The roof is .5mm titanium, that is the best by far, just a bit harder to form . It's really springy material. | |

So you find 0.5 holds up well enough then? I've wanted to use it for ages but figured it wouldn't last.. | |

| Re: The northkona Erik Miller 4421 Ultra4 It does get dinged up but I don't mind , I always get a spare set of skins made when I make a rig so I have a shiny set as spare backups. On my Campbell rig I used colorbond flashing off cuts for some panels, heaps stronger but heavier.
