Gonna look sweet when its covered in diamond plate and the tank gets it's twin smoke stacks

[art b]

and some neons underneath!

[Sammy Lou]

so what colour will it be

[philoldsmobile]

there wont be much chassis visible, so the majority of it will be diamond plate - i.e. silver..

as for the tank itself, i dunno, depends whats available in heat resistant..

i believe the chassis is going to be painted in POR-15, - i think black comes to mind? greame has some left over from the pontiac..

[art b]

i think sammy was lookin for a colour ie pink,satin black, etc

[ianjpage]

looking good guys!

[philoldsmobile]

there is close on 30 meters of box section steel in that mother - its strong!

[Roadkill]

With all that checker plate - It's gonna be MEGA Bling !

Looking at the size of it are we sure we want it THAT Bling ?

Just a thought.

But maybe we could do some of the side panels in Non-pattern plate - then paint them the same colour as the frame ?

It would off-set the Checker-plate bling factor better in my Artist opinion.

[Jamieg285]

I was thinking the exact same thing last night.  Only have the horizontal faces in Ally Cheq, the rest in painted plain.

Gives the option of some fancy signwriting/graphics???

unless its gonna be sprayed i wouldnt even think about it, if you brush pait it it will look crap. I vote diamond plate all over

Same wavelength, obviously.

Exactly my thoughts . . . maybe just checker-plate the side panels over the arches ?

Hammerite the side panels, then.

All that bling is gonna borderline tacky.

Plus flat steel plate is cheap - ally is expensive.

Thats true, with those hugh flat sides

Also we decided that following Art's recommendation for access to the Rear (Main) storage Locker we would hinge the entire of the Rear surface of the Trailer so that it folds down.

Also the Tent Poles fit in Cross-ways so the 2 Front lockers will both be self contained.

up to you guys but hamerite always runs on large panels, just my 2 cents, you could go with ali diamond and if it looks to much get it sprayed for the next event. The whole thing has to look right otherwise it will make the MKB look like a bunch of rednecks

Spray paint never goes well on ally - never "sticks" very well . . . . I'd already thought of that.

for people building a bbq that big there can surely be no doubt!!!
