Looking good mate how did you get the chrome on the front bumper? Thinking of building a bullbar for my knight hauler out of brass so I can solder it together but would really like to chrome it after.

thank you sirs!

540-man: i picked up a roll of chrome tape from an auto supply shop here in town. they use this stuff for accent trims on their custom rides. 13$ for 50 feet. but being you are making out of brass, any local chrome plate shop can chrome it for you, or you can also try electroplating it yourself with the kits they now sell. they are cheap kits too.

Looking real good. I have a globe cab that I started making I to a 352 Pete...I need to move on it...

Question...are those head light indents on the front a little on the small side? I see a lot of guys that build the pete and KW cab overs and the lights they use look a little bigger?

thank you gents.
Lmackattack, ya they are a little smaller then usual, using 4 5mm leds for the lights and didn't want to look too out of place. she should look like a 1982 1/2 352 pete.
