Still a lot of grinding and drilling to do.

No roofrack but it will have 4 lights on the rollbar.
A winch and 2 more lights on the frontbumper.
Spare wheel,tools ect.

Polish or paint?

holy shit, i would say wire brush the frame and polish the upper half, cause paint wont stay put.

thats sweet

wow......
POLISH!
how much does all the SS weigh? :shock:

Polish would look good maybe a satin not bright, and beautiful work man.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I like the idea of a top half and a bottom half finish."thumbsup"
Didn't think of that yet.

StangKilla it is heavy.:lol:
Haven't weighed it yet.
My guess is around 400 grams.

Got my scale towshackles last week.
Steel bolt and alloy(nickel/silver)shackles.

WOW, what a fanstatic work so far. Looks awesome.
Is stainless steel easier to bend than usual steel ?

Pete

Thanks Pete.
It is harder to bend stainless steel.
But a good tube bender and a little heat now and then will take care of that problem."thumbsup"

The bender I use.
16mm radius,6mm groove(for 6mm tube)
The parts that actually touch the tube are cast.So no scratches on stainless tube.

man that chassis is a work of art"thumbsup"
can't wait to see this done!

Great googly woogly that is nice...

WOW!!!!. Work of art. You should have left the body clear or made an exo out of ss.

beautiful rig, it is very very clean. Only thing I am not a fan of if the additional piece off of the front stinger bar, but other then that it is awesome "thumbsup"

Thanks guys."thumbsup"

TRX90 More pics will follow.

1BJB The additional piece up front is the winchmount.Far from finished and still a little bulky.
EDIT:I just re-read the post,you ment the brushguard to protect the off-roadlights.I took it off.It was a bit of creativity.Haven't found a 1:1 with a similar setup.

looking good where can i get those shackles"thumbsup"

Google: "schumo kits" ;-)

Schumo-kits is part of Axel'sModellBauShop.de

Mostly militairy but a lot of stuff they sell is perfect for 1/8 and 1/10 scalers.

The smaller shackles are normally used for scale boats.
I found them at my LHS.
