Make sure you use a long nap roller when you apply that paint Jared.  It will look a bit bumpy when you first roll it but the finish will lay down as it dries! laugh Cool biggrin

That machine is going to be killer!

As long as my painter has had it a roller has crossed my mind!!

Been a long time coming but I got it painted yesterday.  The body shop I was using changed there business structure putting my machine on the back burner for a bit.

Installed the new lid and wired everything up.  A few minor adjustments here and there but it's looking near completion .

I ended up having to tap some of the threads for the cap catcher screws which are a normal RH thread on mine.  I heard some people have had threads screws on in reverse.  I used a 10/32" bottom hand tap and 10/32" plug hand tap.  Gives you one tap that is tapered and one that straight .
