Bit more progress, wheels are in the 'gel' bath, closer inspection found the chrome in poor shape....so I'll paint them Tamiya Silver leaf or similar and shoot a gloss or dull coat over them.....

Started playing around with the exhaust kit, first thing I noticed was the smallish kit supplied exhaust stack.....I'll go up a couple of notches just to give it some attitude.....

Nice bit of added detail with those stack heat shields.

Lucky having all the piece's for the bull-bar pre cut.

If you shoot some TS-13 clear over the TS-30 silver leaf it will tone down the brightness of the silver. Kinda gives it a flat silver look but has gloss finish.

Yeah I reckon the Bull-Bar will need some patience for sure and they allowed extra on the pre cut bits to allow for proper fit. Time to get all the pegs out.... magnify
And thanks for the tip Luke, yeah will go for that brushed Aluminium look thumbsup

The Bull-Bar is coming together however, I've to re-do a few things such as the tubes on the uprights.....they have been cut very poorly and don't fit, so I'm in the process of fabricating those.... :roll:

Mind you, the instructions are vague, bit more guess work magnify

Pictures later on....

Well it looks like a Bull-Bar :lol:

Coat of paint will finish it off now, just need to sort the mounting brackets for the chassis....went together quite good despite a few hiccups ;)

Brilliant job on the bullbar, looks top notch! Had to wait like 20 mins for the pics to load cause of slow internet, but it was worth it! Great work thumbsup

Thanks guys, yeah the test fit revealed a few mods to be done so it fits snug too the chassis, obviously won't go on until the truck is completed, then I can make the adjustments thinking
