Rear is a matching Ruffstuff/TrueHi9 609.

Leaving it bare for now, tins will end up painted stock Rustoleum orange when time and weather permits.

For now, it won't be outside other than to wheel.  Stored in the trailer or shop.

And I've been wanting another orange-something.

Don't burst my bubble... :P

How about clear? Show off those pretty welds on the axles?

Um, no.

First, all the steel is already painted.  Second, all of my welds are far from pretty.   :P

Now with matching driver side.  It is officially a "flat fender" now.

This is really turning out nice mark. Aluminum roof in the plans? Let us know if you want to have a Spiderweb shade made for it.

Not sure on roof yet.  Likely a cheapie bikini top until I can get a real canvas top made.  I'll keep Spiderweb in mind though.
