    bad top; pad interior, and rust pockets I'd just walk away; too much work to do.
    I thought the white interior or m-tech cloth interior were signatures of the real deal. What is this one missing? Oh yeah, white weaves were another indicator.

        ^ That is awesome!

        IMI is expensive, but I would argue that 10 minutes there is more beneficial than 4 sessions at Unser. I wonder if a kart isn't in my future???

          Totally with you. I really want to buy a TAG.

            I keep going back and forth, but it might advance the learning curve a little faster than building up a GTS M3. I just want to get as good as I can, quickly and cheaply. Don't we all!

            Got the Midget running today. Installed solid state ignition, new rotor, plugs, coil, fuel filter. The problem I had the other day when it wouldn't start was oil hydrolocking the cylinders. I added a bunch a couple years ago and forgot about it!

                Alex, that car looks like a ton of fun!

                Does anyone here do home powdercoating that wants to do a bike frame?

                  Thanks guys. Full story is on the blog:

                  Powdercoating Specialties did a bike for me a few years ago. They did a great job.

                    I wish I had an oven big enough to do a bike frame, maybe this summer I will be able to do things that big.

                      I want to powder coat some parts on my car:
                      intake manifold
                      valve cover
                      timing covers and possibly thermostat housings

                        I decided against powdercoating pretty quickly. The bike was super cheap and am just using it for a fun project.

                        I am doing chalkboard paint on it.

                              Fuck that! I hate Aaron Rodgers so much. He just has that aura of douchebaggery floating around him.
