All my tube work is getting the bronze treatment.  I used a gloss clear on the body, but the top and the tubes get satin clear.  When in the sun you can see the difference.  I'm hoping the satin will prove to be a little more durable and not show as much.

I'm starting to dream up rear tire carriers and water / fuel storage.  If anyone has ideas and photos, I'm looking for advice.  Thinking I might build off the rear receiver and hinge it down for use as an extended tail gate/table...  While it's nice to swing out of the way, I want to keep it simple and useful.
