I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Per Ivors suggestion I added a sky hook to counteract any possible un-for-seen lateral forces .
The wife and I wrapped it in plastic tonight.
Need to pick up a high efficiency pleated furnace filter and hang the door tomorrow. The plan is to put a box fan on the outside of the booth and blow the air through the filter. Between that, wetting down the floor and hitting the plastic with an anti-static spray, that should hopefully keep the the dust to a minimum.

Blow-in design for lack of explosion proof fan Dale? Hope you don't blow dust in. I'm sure it will be fine.
Can't wait for some action shots! Engine first? Eastwood engine paint right?Ed

The reason I'm blowing air into the booth is to keep air infiltration to a minimum. The way I figure, if I pressurize the enclosure, filtered air will escape the cracks rather than the other way around.
Currently the plan is to shoot the engine bits first then work my way into the body pieces and all the semi-gloss components. I'll leave the aluminum components that require clear until last. Need to figure out what to use to buff them after sanding in the mean time.
Eastwood products for the engine and the aluminum components.

Yahooooo, watching with interest.
I also prefer a blow in system to prevent dust ingress, built a 6m X 4m booth for a budy of mine a few weeks back, and rigged it for positive pressure in the booth as he has a fiberglass works and the place is filled with fine dust that gets in everywhere.

I've given that idea more than just a fleeting thought or two.
One of the shift rail pockets has about a mm of melted aluminum from the heat of being welded. I need to remove it and I mght touch up the welds at the same time. I don't want to weaken the weld by removing too much material but the desire to neaten things up a bit is overwhelming.
