man. I didn't know paint could look that good without sanding and buffing. I am sure it has a lot to do with the quality of the work under the paint too right?

on each coat of paint if you let it set 20min. and 1000 grit wet sand each coat , there wont be any orange peel. clear doesnt get very much peel to it.  it flows out on what its laying on.  the paint is what make 95% of the peel look.  then you need to wet sand the clear to make it smooth.

Very nice. This is going to be one sweet machine. I bet you feel like a kid right now. Except you are doing all the work instead of getting it done for you.

Looks good Doug, things are starting to come together pretty good now.  You planning on having it ready for the summer season?

Daniel had the Idea but me and a few others on another forum helped fine tune them to look like this.  Daniel had the clock idea and we suggested the gold marks in the German font. 
I think he did a really good job on them. 
I think a W72 on the clock would look good too. 


I hope its in the trailer headed to NY this year.  but I still have a lot to do , and not going to rush it.

Wow---- The German Letters really set that off.
Now I want to see them lit up in the dark.
Now I "have to" keep watching this thread.
