I think that looks much better than the clear would have...

Yea, I thought about how much more sanding I would have had to do to get it to a point where the clear would have looked smick. I'm not allowed to stick my parts in the missus dishwasher like some...

One day I'll tell you about a young fella who wore the gloves but found he needed a wee half way thru the job .... ended up with black finger prints all over his pecker which took a month to wear off.

By Rebel 1.

A similar story only much more painful. I had some ornamental chillies growing... you know the purple coloured little buggers.. and I was told that if you break them open with your fingers and spinkle the seeds throughout the garden, you will have new plants spinging up everywhere. Half way through the process I required a leak and unfortunately for me, I didn't wash my hands first. I usually do that afterwards. A good soaking in a fifteen ounce beer glass full of iced water is the remedy for anyone else stupid enough to try this.

Hey Baz, you may have just invented the newest "lube" additive, for those wanting to warm up their nocturnal activities. Maybe Rebel could try it and see if he can improve on the Leap year situation.

Hell I might give it a go myself, things can only get better in that department....(checks to see if better half is close by).Safe.

15 ounces.. I think i would need a stien glass.

Sounds painful.

You lot that are deprived, think yourselves lucky. My nocturnal activity has led to a baby on the way for November. Some how i think that will slow down my build progress. I am happy though.

According to my first wife if mine was 50mm shorter I'd have a 25mm hole in my gut.

By the way JC, that stuff is great for any suspension bits.

Use the silver color for the rear alloy bearing carriers. Sand it between coats tho to get rid of the cast surface.

They get as dirty as hell those alloy carriers and the paint makes them a hose off cleaning job.

First your talking about painting your willy and now your talking about painting washing your bearing carriers. I'm starting to wonder about you Les.

Kind of you to be worried about me Mike, but I must admit I'm equally concerned about you mate.

Any-one who has knowledge of "skins" laying abandoned in St. Kilda gutters on Sunday mornings must be wandering around in the wee hours, and that's a questionable place to be seen.

Doesn't stiffy live down that way?.
