    I removed the drums, completely wire wheeled the exterior, wiped it down with acetone, then did a few coats of caliper paint. Once the paint set I cured them in the oven at 200 degrees for an hour.

    Here is an in-progress pic. On a side note, they were beat to hell. Not sure what the previous owner was doing to ding up the drums so much.

    Boring day doing homework. But I did pick a spot at the dentist this morning where I could watch her through the window.

    Drove down to the airport to see all the private jets that take up an entire runway during the Masters tournament. It’s crazy since the Augusta airport is pretty boring most of the year lol

    I'm almost positive that first clip is from Izatys on Mille Lacs. My uncles cabin is very very close to there. Those ice waves are no joke.

    Maybe impractical, IDK...

    IN mid-December while off-road I lost the driver's side rear view mirror to a tree that did not want to play nice--not a big deal, I got one of these from Amazon for $40 and after sanding off a nasty mold line on the inboard curve (with 240 then 600 and 800 grit paper) and $18 of Duplicolor's Super White and Clearcoat it came out nice:

    [​IMG]


    But I had that 1/2 can of White and Clearcoat left, so this morning while looking out the barn window I had a thought--how 'bout if that tailgate release latch assembly were color-matched? So, I masked it off and did it...

    The price of these needed things goes up every year. My Dad passed two years ago. And My Mother passed last month. I already had the plots next to them so I decided to go ahead and get the headstone now.
