Getting some work done today. i really like the look of screened vents, but i've desided to outline mine in cxarbon fiber instead of brass. here's a pic of the layup. i also found time to drill some 1 3/4 holes in the front hub while waitng for the resin to set up. i still need to go back and clean up the flashings on the backside.

thats really cool. for a while i couldnt figure out what you were going to do. now are you going to put some type of metal screen in there?

SHORTROUND · « **Reply #10 on:** August 21, 2010, 06:31:26 AM »

SHORTROUND · « **Reply #14 on:** September 20, 2010, 06:42:58 PM »

i painted it myself with restoration shop single stage urethane. it seems single stage is more chemical and chip resistant. its great paint for the money. i've used it on several frame and i'm very impressed with it.

Wow, really like that frame colour even more. That must look great in the sun. What colour(s) are you using for the tank?

SHORTROUND · « **Reply #19 on:** September 29, 2010, 07:24:54 PM »

i can't deside between stirling silver and pewter for the tank and tail. i'm leaning toward pewter at the moment. i took some time off thinking about it and finished the vent screens.
