Is that the rails polished or chromed?

Looks sick either way

I think it looks good with polished/satin black combo

I'm not so sure on the rust look for the cantilevers, but i guess they kinda match the wheel colour, just not sure if they would look better in satin black...

neither, there are subframes for the suspension that are bolted to the chassis. ive made them with channels that slot over the chassis rails, so the whole thing could get chromed in manageable sizes (nobody i know of in nz could chrome a whole chassis, and it would be too difficult, and would be too hard to change stuff afterwards as well). the only non-functional pieces are the bit at the very back and a couple of small panels towards the front.

thanks! with some time and money i think many people could do stuff like this, i only learnt to weld a year ago...
