Amazing work, Dale. You're just about all set for the next issue. I'm looking forward to seeing how he attacks the spring rigging.

What sort of paint are you using?

Todd I am using power coat . A lot of work but looks good , don't know how it will hold up . Thanks Dale

Powder coat is tough, but you can't fix scratches like with spray paint.

[dalem9]

Thanks Todd I really do appreciate the nice comments . How is your A3 coming alone .

 

[tomfilery]

Dale,

I echo the expressions of admiration already added to your posts - truly beautiful work!

Are the springs (in your last picture posting) machined from solid, or made up of individual cut strips?

Regards Tom

 

[dalem9]

Tom they are cut in strips .A lot of work ! Thanks for the nice comments

 

[SilverSanJuan]

Hi Dale,

Progress on the A3 has slowed while I collect the funds for another material purchase.

Here are some more pictures of what I have done .

 

[dalem9]

Well all I have left is to paint everything . I think I will put a clear coat on the covers ,what do you guys think

 

[SilverSanJuan]

Beautiful, Dale. When you say "covers" are you referring to the front cylinder covers, or the wrapper? A clear coat would be nice on the cylinder covers.

Todd

 

[dalem9]

Yeson the cyl. covers and the valve cover . Just a thought .
