No problem with others though.

New FB bonnet bars

A mate of mine is currently making 4 of these - he is a coach builder by profession.
I dropped a bonnet and bonnet bar off to him this morning so he can finalise the last bits of them and they will be for sale once finished. 2 have sold already at $1750 unchromed [emoji15]

Re: Ammo's Ute

Have you installed the windscreen into the ute without the stainless ?? That may end in tears, the stainless needs to be in the rubber before the glass is installed ......

There is a youtube how to done by Rare Spares that explains the process.
