Nice racks!

Thanks.
Got a new project to restore once I get it set up.

Never figured you for the Barbi Jeep kinda guy but hey, whatever floats your boat.

That's not a Barbie jeep...... It's a Tonka.

Gonna be a cool project either way. I’ve seen pictures of things you’ve restored. Top notch work Brian.

Got a couple more Redlines to do at some point too.

Sanded this down to 220. It had deep grinding marks so I didn't go far enough to remove them all.

Not sure why it got spotty, never did before. But after sanding, I used acetone to clean it, then just wipe of the liquid and let it sit for a minute, then wipe with a water soaked rag to stop the process. You can do it multiple times for darker color.

I like how the blueing didn’t color the aluminum plugs.

oh, and sweet music in the background.

Maybe a bit of oil still hiding out in those tiny holes?
Looks great to me, Jason

394 getting seals, carb kit, and a brake band. But now I can’t remember how the brake flag goes back together. Any help out there for a fool like me?

The bars I dressed. They weren't too bad. Took the burrs off and did a quick pass over the top of the rails.

Thanks for posting that.

Can you leave it on longer instead of doing multiple coats?

I have painted bars, but never blued or lacquered any.

How does it fit under the hood? It is the same filter as the 661 correct?

Fits snugly, same filter as the 661, but the 661 MaxFlo cover wont fit

Yep. A topcoat of clear can be applied to protect the finish. And slight warming the metal helps darken the color. I didn’t this time because I wanted the different shades. These two bars I did warm a bit.










This one has about 3 years use. I’ve never seen any rust form. But if you want it to last longer with hard use, may want that additional layer of protection.
