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.

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

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.

cheers
