Fg Custom Tray Build

[STAINLESS again plz]

some more 3d work. just gettin idea what colours will look best. Was deciding out of:

polished frame with black tubbs

black frame with polished tubbs

all polished

but Im leaning towards all black, probably do the ladder bars black also and all underneat where tail lights/number plate is

[Shyfrd]

I reckon all black the way to go. Will look good against the polished timber and make the logo in the timber, if you do it, polished

[Dagabond]

Looks good, but aren't those cutaways on the outer frame where they meet the guard going to be a major weak point?

[STAINLESS again plz]

nah dags I wouldnt think so. the guards are rolled/spun from a strong grade 3mm ally. Guards will be fully welded around where they contact outer frame and wherever possible where they contact with the 100x50 running up the inside underneath. With the 40x20 running across and fully welded to the outer frame it should all hold pretty rigid. Also theres always the option to add more bracing before the timber gets screwed down.
