[Octain]

Whatcha gonna do with it, Chuck?
Put it on the showroom floor or sell it?

[chuck hahn]

It will be for sale.. Got one guy with first dibs..if he passes then its a free for all. I will have right at 3100.00 into the entire project. But if it doesnt sell so what its all redone and paid for so no skin off my nose..

Used the Dupli-color wheel clear on the tops of mine.Been pretty tough on the polished stuff on Old Yeller.Baked it to toughen it.

Thanks for the tip Greg. I'll give that a try on my aluminum pieces. do you know if it's fuel resistant?

Those tires look like they may be past their expiration date...

[chuck hahn]

Yup pretty weather checked.. good enough to roll her around on though till shes assembled.

[Stahlgrau333]

Yeah, I know you'd never attempt to ride on them...just thought I'd comment on just how 'done' they are, lol.

[Stahlgrau333]

Honestly I have no ideaSure do hope so.

Agter stripping the rims the other day, today was mask off the faces and paint them...heres the results. I also polished the fork lowers and the points cover. I will post pics and the process in the next post..

[chuck hahn]

Heres the bling and the tools of the trade. The black bar that says FORMAX DETROIT on it is the famous BLACK MAGIC i keep talking about. The aluminum polish is self explanatory. Heres what you do::
1)Strip all clearcaot with paint stripper and wash good.
2)Use the BLACK MAGIC rouge with the hard yellow pleeted buff till very shiny
3) Use the Buschs polish on the white sewn cotton buff till mirror like.
4) Clean with laquer thinner and a rag then buff them with a dry towel
5) Seal all parts with WIZARDS POWER SEAL.

Chuck, that sure is some serious looking polish work you've done! I'd say you have it down to an art form by what I see.

[chuck hahn]

I really like the points cover with the plain polished look. Was actually thinking of leaving it that way..but it wouldnt be technically correct..Next step is to mask it off and repaint it and remove the paint off the raised lettering so it looks new again. Thanks for the compliment Dale. I have been preaching the praises of the Black Magic rouge and now you see why. Its a cut and color rouge which means it cuts the oxidation and brings out the metals natural lustre all in the same process. If ya need anything done you know the addy.
