Re: 58 mingo mango
Brad make sure you remove that shitty green paint from anywhere you cant get to afterwards. Ive seen panels with rust underneath it from the supplier. Steel wool and thinners gets it off really easy. Makes it much nicer to weld when it's really clean too.

Re: 58 mingo mango
While looking for a needle in a haystack I also found some hens teeth
Firstly I like to give a big shout out too frogsta for been a top bloke and giving me the chance to buy matching og paint mango green pressed bars and a front eblem
And then a big shout out too d train for the mates handball on the bars cheers bud
Also thanks to kombi bob for taking them down to a mackvilie the other weekend and then thanks to joe for the pickup at the Showgrounds and lastly rusty( Midwestduber ) for bring them home to Horsham where I picked them up today
So pumped to have been lucky enough to score these bars and front emblem

They look right at home mate! Couldn’t have gone to a better bus in my opinion. Happy to have been apart of the transportation process

Those bars look great, so will you have to sand blast them an straighten them an repaint them now? Might as well do the emblem at the same time! Ian

Re: 58 mingo mango
So is there evidence of the bars being all silver white before or do you think the mango is OG? Does this mean you are going with OG paint? Does yours have the Berger sticker on it? Great to see it coming together.
