| Re: Competition Style Tundra by Southern Builds Fab Need to powder coat the links. Let me hear some input! 1. Powder coat them Aluminum 2. Powder coat them Chrome 3. Strip and polish them and powder coat them clear What do you guys think? |

That's a tough one man... If it were my scale rig I'd either go with a natural satin-type finish, a natural polished look, or chassis-black... But that's just me. I guess it depends if you wanna beat the pee-pee out of it, or sit and stroke on it lovingly for hours? lol. I'd just hit the links with some Wizards polish and call 'er golden, but that's my "works" style shining through I guess lol

The links are steel and will rust. Aluminum powdercoat will probably have that satin finish to it, but I can also polish them and bake with clear coat. I'm going to run it a lot, but I'll also be stroking it afterwards haha Sent from Hell. | |

| Re: Competition Style Tundra by Southern Builds Fab Tapping Ti with a 3mm x0.5 tap is nearly impossible unless you use a specialized head that costs about $930. I want the links to rust where they get scratched, just don't want the entire link to look like a rusty trombone haha This is just a cosmetic thing, I love the steel links Sent from Hell. |

I just thought of 40-Year-Old Virgin lmao... Anywho... Greenie has steel links as well and I may try an experiment on 'er... From my experience at work, if you hit bare metal with a corrosion inhibitor like Kroil for example, then it doesn't rust. I know it would be some minor upkeep, but it's a thought for us poor mechanics lol.

I'm thinking about just polishing them and clear coating. I like the bare metal look | |

Agree with the bare metal look that's what I ended up doing after different Paint jobs

Precision, scale, stance, attention to detail, appearance, scale (said scale twice) hardware, heim joints, paint, suspension geometry oh - and freakin awesome. This one of those, bar raising builds. Take a 1:1 and send it through a shrinking machine......That good!
