I finally decided to try and have a few raw chassis blanks anodized. As soon as I got them back from the platers, I threw a couple in the machine. I wasn't sure how it was going to look, so I only sent a few blanks out. But, they turned out pretty nice. I'm thinking of sending more blanks out to be anodized next week, but I'm not sure how many yet. I will at least have a handfull of these up for sale, depending on interest. I think I can keep the price the same too, I just need to get a quote from the platers for a bulk amount of blanks.

A few pics......

Ah, Now I need to decide between a black one and a chrome one... You just had to do this right when I decided on your chassis. LOL, jk.

Unimoger · 07-14-2006, 03:51 PM

Now that is awesome Bender, you should be able to sell every one you can make of those.

Not sure yet, I'm going to try and do this without increasing prices. I just need to check a few things first.

The black looks evil!

I like it and would pay a little more for it if necessary.

CoreyK · 07-14-2006, 04:18 PM

Same here, I plan on purchasing a SW2 soon. And i def want black anodized!

Rockpiledriver · 07-14-2006, 04:41 PM

Black looks fantastic. The logo stands out much better.

Double J · 07-14-2006, 05:36 PM

chaotic_life · 07-14-2006, 05:46 PM

dittohead · 07-14-2006, 05:59 PM

So i finally buy an SW2 and look what happens, you come up with a black one! I would have way rather had black, even if it cost more. Oh well, im not complaining, i guess i could always build another one

I didn't plan this, it just happened at the last minute.

Very nice touch to an already Bad A$$ chassis.

peej410 · 07-14-2006, 06:33 PM

I'll try to take a few pics and post them up tomorrow. I used a vibrating sander on the plates first, then gave them a grain with scotch brite. The finish is really smooth.

I will add you to the list, thanks. I bet the black beadlocks would look sick with this set-up.

kerosinek · 07-14-2006, 10:24 PM
