Hybrid_From_Hell Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Getting there now it feels. Have now painted the snorkel (1 coat red oxide) 3 coats top coat - or "primer finish grey" as Tonk calls it ).... Whizzed up to Keith Gotts today (amogst other whizzing about) and had a selection of comments, ... .....all positive, .....combined with mickey takes.... DEFINATELY looks better TIGd up, painted and mounted than as the older "In build" pics. Oh I wish I could sometimes just BUY STUFF OFF THE SHELF rather than the " 1 2 3 4, lets bang my F head against a wall .....and take all day(s) to make something " game Ho Hum, still got a certain rear winch mount to remake after "Modifying it" unexpectedly.....

BogMonster Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I like it. It looks as though if you smite it on a tree, you would need to call the Forestry Commission to report a broken tree, and that is good Version 2 in stainless steel to add a bit of bling?

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Les H spake thus :Eurrrrrrrgh - filthy perv! Erm, well, I try landrover598 spake (and obviously has hugely impecable taste) Thats really smart, good work B) and that looks nothing like primer grey Cheers for the positive comments - will you PM tonk for me re the primer comment Jon White (being a picky git) said :Battleship grey is a good description........ Still dont like it.......... Jon Yeah right, quality comment coming from a guy with a 'seaswept manky' piece of 4x1 timber under his Rev counter "for spacing you understand" Western said : looks much better finished & it just seems to suit your truck then Les said (GIT) What - you mean a bit odd? Western your a gent - les - Takes one to know one I reckon Noternchris comments of "How many hours in total mate??????????????? " Nope, not admitting anythink me guv, too long I know, and 3x longer than I thjought is the best you'll get out of me on it kin fabrication Bogmonster said : I like it (another forumer of taste and style) . It looks as though if you smite it on a tree, you would need to call the Forestry Commission to report a broken tree, and that is good (re earlier comment - erm maybe ) Yeah someone at Keith gotts said he had "heard the military had a howitzer missing" but you prob have a point BB , I have weakened - its not 6mm tube Version 2 in stainless steel to add a bit of bling?

Tonk Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Nige, ignoring the 3 coats of primer have u weighed the snorkel and adjusted spring rates so your truck doesn't lean? how heavy was your whole truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Very nice - has a sort of 'heavy duty industrial' look that works really well on your truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 and there was me thinking you'd fitted gas central heating for the winter months nice work on the tube, looks a lot better than most of these plastic tumble dryer hoses that are fitted to other set-ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Perhaps folk with large noses are unable to do that simple function. Closing doors, not smacking someone round the head if you look round unexpectedly, scare young children, etc , etc. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
