Thanks guys:)

Trucker47, the Everlast is good enough welder for me, but in many places you can tell it's Chinese made.

Supermario, I think the engine hood makes this more challenging than the grader was.

Rimrock, I use aluminium primer for the alu parts and I also blasted many parts with glass beads.

This dumptrucks looking awesome. Were all the chassis placards homemade or a kit? The diff lock setup looks killer.

I'm kinda suprised with the amazing work everywhere around here that nobody really seems to go full-on when it comes to prep and painting aluminum. I guess our equipment probably doesn't need it quite like the real stuff.
