This one fought me hard today! Bolt broke off, stem was rusted in there good! Soak, soaked again...soaked it some more and put a little heat on it! I won!!

Love those X53 tanks...

I was going to make a tank, and eventually will! I came across this, and it'll do it some justice!
Paint scheme is coal glitter black and silver, both heavy on the flakes!

 

[Endlesschain]

lookin forward to the the paint you choose,a change up to a modern style paint scheme using metallic/pinstripe and thick black tyres/rims would look good,modern muscle look on an old classic has been done heaps but still looks good,classic is cool too but I think a new look would suit just fine too,good luck with your choice

Swapped rear cog and started scuffing the rims to give them a silver satin finish instead of polished.

 

[OddJob]

Looking good...like the satin rim idea.

Thanks bud! I didn't want the rims to overpower the paint scheme, so the satin silver really looks good on it!
