I agree with your wife Lars that the tins look wicked as they are .& the cast iron engine block would als look amazing if you take the paint off that and leave natural

I have an engine here that i have used the black graphite paste that is used to clean old victirian cast iron Fires and when it is pollished up it looks fantatsic

yepp i agree.. but to chrome the tin here is way to expensive.. and just paint it whit clearcoat wont last so long before the paint goes off..

But i have got some of the part painted whit epoxy to day.. and the rest tomorrow..

Then i have to get some red color on some parts before i put it a bit together.. then give all some good coat whit paint...

will try to take some pict tomorrow of the epoxyprimed parts..

Day 42 and I reckon the update pics may either show Lars riding the finished project around his Garden, or he's managed to Copy/Fab all the parts and built 2 of them :techie-hourglass:
