oe, the buffing pastes i got everything from my local MENARDS!, its not pricey , just takes some time and attention, you will get the hang of it once you start to see some improvement on your circular jems, your hands will ache in the price of SHINE!, and might look like youve been in the ink room of the local paper , undoutably. something to keep your chin up about when your pit nieghbors ask about them, you cannot deny , as a driver you are sometimes aw struck by the detail to someones car, I love craftsmanship, Swindels rides come to mind, and the TMC car set the record for me as a kid. simply beautiful...

Mickey Thompson 1964 Indy car had a titanium frame which would have been hi tech for its day. Titanium was once a military secret with its use in planes.

yes sir, i got a friend that needed help moving his wings to the hanger he was rebuilding a 1932ish? open cockpit plane, the fusealoge(sp) was unskinned at the time, the tubing is creepy small dia and it is moly tho, just amazing, way back then the material they were using, the sheeting of the wings is a fabric that gets a coating of some sort to make it firm up and rigid, almost like paper thin aluminum when done, i swear its like tinfoil.. i was pretty nervous just moving them but extreemly light, i really wanted to use my enclosed trailer but he was confident the open flatbed was fine, Maybe I'll get some pics of the Sprinter near the hanger someday, i always admired the relationship between sprinters and aircraft, truely unique, and in my part of the country USAF is a big deal here..
