trick my mixer Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 This is going to look good...Nice bumper...The Moose is Loose.LOL!!
vincen47 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Great start, I'll be watching this one. The bumper is awesome, did you make it?
MachinistMark Posted April 29, 2017 Author Posted April 29, 2017 Yeah. I drew it in cad and cut it out on the cnc laser I run at work. Had one of the ypungfellas we have at the shop bend the ends up for me, then polished it. It's 304 stainless steel. Sanded it with an orbital sander starting with 150 grit paper, then 240, 320, 400, 500 grits, then onto the buffing wheel and finished with autosol metal polish and a microfiber towelIt's not an easy material to work with, stainless. But not sure is pretty

MachinistMark Posted May 6, 2017 Author Posted May 6, 2017 Is this one going to be long an low ? I like what I see so far ! Be Well GatorTo an extent, yes. I won't be lowering it any but the big bumper should make it look lower. Will be getting full rear fenders as well.
purepmd Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Got the makings of a very cool custom. So far so very good.
MachinistMark Posted May 13, 2017 Author Posted May 13, 2017 Sprayed the box aluminum today, I'll mask off what's gonna be painted body colour tomorrow maybe.
