Well theres still along way to go but I'm kinda on my loose schedule, past few day's last nite for sure I got more time to work on the sled. As Kelly already knows the brush and roller came back out and I got the chassis painted the other day, I figured with heat the past few day's it was the...

I have to say that I'm really impressed with this powder coat system makes me wish I had a bigger oven. You coat the part which takes anywhere from a minute to 3 or 4, get your oven at 400 degrees, put the parts in for 15 minutes, take them out let them cool, you get a nice hard high gloss...

Well its on the lift and the 1st layer of grime is off it, mechanically its in good shape steering is tight, none of the cables are froze up throttle and brake works, the track spins by turning the secondary and the engine rolls over, the track is in good shape. Body wise I'm gonna need a belly...
