Re: Roaring Forties #49 John Schneider

Many paint companies have flattening agents(additives)

to reduce glare. The results look a lot nicer than a sanded

finish.

Re: Roaring Forties #49 John Schneider
I used just a rattle can to paint the insides of the doors and spider.
Semi gloss black. So the glare shouldn't be bad.
All in all it came out very nice and all that from a $3.00 can of spray paint.

Re: Roaring Forties #49 John Schneider
It's been a while so here are a few new shots.
Photography is not my strongest area so please forgive the quality. I will have the wife shoot a few soon. It should be running next week.
Cross your fingers.
John

Re: Roaring Forties #49 John Schneider
Here's my heatshield. I put the blanket on then covered it with this piece of stainless. 1000 helicoils later and "voila" a rear to pretty to keep closed.

Mark, You have no idea! It is killing me.
Soon, just not soon enough.
