hi alex .

great job .
as you can see , this is what i mean where the wolf is hiding the rust , it is always good to weld in new parts and leave the welding points open , that way the roll over bar is removeable . the parts are not that expensive and the time it takes here more will be saved on preparation for painting .

keep up the good work :D

Guido, thanks for the support! Not too bad inside but the seam has rust that could definitely do with extra cleaning up!!

Easy work and more fun removable.

Yep - refinished. Are you worried about heat retention? Tested before and after without any noticeable change in heat retention.

No I have painted cast parts before so was just wondering.
I have refinished cast parts too, left bare, then clear coated and the painted look better longer (and is less work) :)

Hi Alex

Great builds and thread. I found an OCD test :lol:
