What did you use on the exhaust manifold?
 
The biggest challenge (color wise) is finding a color that looks like new aluminum without shining like the spinner rims on a new Escalade. :)
So far the paint has ranged from too shiny to too dull ( almost galvanized looking ).
 
looks like new aluminum ...
good luck
although flat silver seems to come close.

They say the process builds character and it certainly makes the paint salesman happy. The color I want in on the grill of a 1950's vintage International Harvester tractor. The paint guy will no doubt enjoy the challenge.
 
I still wanted Charles to go Freeborn Red on his block.

I seem to be disappointing everyone in Cruiserland.
 
not at all ...
you be doing well son, keep it up.

smile, the cruiser gods are happy today.

Thanks for the encouraging words.....
I haven't completely recovered from my LJ78 experience and too much criticizing might push me over the edge. :D
 
start of a new year, now don't be dragging you baggage from the past into the future. we all make mistakes.
 
Sorry......
I still wake up in the middle of the night screaming "cracked head" but I will try to keep my problems between myself and the therapist and not on the pages of MUD.
 
the IMPORTANT question is, how accessible is the sheer pin to replace?

CDan et all,
Charles is a cool guy with great toys but someone has to keep his feet on the ground.

As it turns out, the sheer pin is FAR more accessible now than it was with the "sore lip" bumper. :)
 
Although it would be more of a challenge, there is adequate space to change the pin from the topside. By "adequate" I mean small hands and a lot of patience. :)
 
I now have lights bright enough to keep up with the blazing highway speeds of the BJ74. :D
