That came out really really nice.

Did you powder coat all the stack parts also? If you did how does the added thickness affect the workings?

Thanks guys appreciate it!

The body and fingers of the stack were powder coated. The moving mechanical parts that are not seen were sandblasted and painted. I've built 5-6 Cavalier stacks now as have not had a problem yet. They are fairly simple to work on.

Very sharp.  happydrinkers That marquis sign is one of my favorites. The touch of green text on the sign makes it really pop amongst the red and white paint and chrome trim.

I'm with Tim on that comment - I really like that touch of teal green on the sign.  I had that same sign on my CS-96. 

When I sold it the guy that bought it said he was drawn to mine over others he looked at purely because of that sign...well that and the picture in my ad of the infra-red thermometer showing the internal temp, proving that it cooled.   Cool

Joey,
Question on the Chrome/SS Trim... does that come off easy enough to restore and then reapply or is it aftermarket stuff?

never worked on one of these yet and was always curious as to how to do the chrome?

Original trim on the outside was trashed. I replaced with 1 inch wide automotive trim that I found at my local paint store. Not original but turned out nice none the less. I do not think the original trim could have been saved if I sent it out to get reworked.
