I would flat clear the whole thing for durability and shiny clear the flames. Did I just invent he term "shiny clear"? I think I coined a phrase. Anyway, you won't be able to color sand or buff the flat clear because it will start to get shiny, so your not getting yourself into a bunch more work. Do a test. It's the only way to see before pulling the trigger. Oh, it's about the time of year where I mention how cold it's getting down here in Vegas. This is where you give me **** and imply that I'm a puss.

I did notice it warmer here at night then in Florida. I kinda like the cold. It's better then heat. You can always just put on more clothes. I think I would miss the snow. I like to sled and snow board too much. Maybe when I'm an old #uck I'll think different. Sorry Strodder. I think I need to do some paint testing.

I would spray a flat clear. It will fade and start to look chaulky if you dont. Oh and I through in some wire loom in with the harness.

I'm not sure, but I think that the Hod Rod Flatz should be ok. I'm not a fan of flat myself, but as long as you use a paint that is made to take the elements and has UV protection it should be fine. Like I said I like shiny, but diversity is what makes our hobby great. Great build, keep up the good work. Also your local paint supplier should be able to answer any questions you have.

Here's our house we had in Vegas. Yes it gets cold there.

I think the Hot Rod Flatz is made not to be cleared. It says its sealed. If I was going to clear it why not just use normal paint that can be sanded and then clear it. I'm not to worried about it fading or chalking. I am worried about how tough it is. I want to do a test piece and then rub on it to see how much it can take.

Gave up on the gas mask idea for now ,bought a throw away resp. It was cheaper then new cans. And quicker then the mask thing.

Don't look now but in the second pic I think your duck got away. Nice house. Looks easy to build. How many Sq/ft?

[ruffrida2005]

I wonder if that's Bonnie floating in the pool. Oh and your welcome for the Pampers. I figured you might need some. I found some wires that go to the head lights. Didn't know they were still on the front clip. I'll get them in the mail to ya.

2400 sq. We liked the house, but hated Vegas. We only lived there for 19 months. And made a ton of money. We got out just in time. Then the housing market dropped.
BTW #uck that duck

[daverod]

It's always good when you count your money by the ton.

Thanx Ruff. Reading the instructions now. Are u sure its painless. Looks like it going to hurt.

We bought the house for 305,000 tons,and 19 months later we sold it for 500,000 tons. Who says you lose when you go to Vegas.

It snowed here today. Flurries mostly, but I guess it counts for Vegas snow.

[daverod]

Put my bed back on by myself. Well, the dog tried to help. Made a shifter knob. Now if the snow would melt I could go test out my new notches. Thinking about putting a rear sway bar and moving my rear shocks.

[Strodder]

Dave do you have a switch for each bag? If you do you don't need a sway bar.

[bubba327]

I Like the shifter . What happened to the shingle hatchet you had for a while as a shifter???
I built a Shifter knob from a brass door knob once , Poured it full of lead and then drilled and tapped it . ..
Worked good and looked cool but it was always too darn COLD in the winter when you had to shift !
I took it off and went to a 8-Ball The plastic felt warmer..

I got the accuair for my 66. I was thinking about the sway bar for my 64. It just has jeep springs for now. If I put bags on my 64 no compressor do you think I would need a rear sway bar?

When I bought a new shifter I got rid of it. Had to cut it off.
