great looking rig...how is the german paint product holding up on the frame and axles? looks great. thought of pwder coating the frame and axles but this looks just as good. Its great to see something so bad come out so good.

Thanks man. It's holding up really good apart from a few nicks and scratches caused by tool during reassembly .

I have attached a few pictures taken today almost six months since the chassis was coated.

x2 like to hear more and see more about that top

 

[Moriarty]

More pictures of the Top

Thanks Tucker and Jhonny .

Yes it was made locally in Karachi, Pakistan. Luckily the original frame was intact when we got the vehicle so just had to get the Soft Top stitched from a guy who specializes in cruiser tops. There are one or two guys left in this city who just make these tops and i was told this guy does a good job which it turns out he did.

The material is of course matte black and a little hard but its very easy to maintain and keeps water out.

I have attached a few more pictures.

enjoy.
