Post a couple pix here and link to this thread.

Done: you can find it here ...!

WOW, WOW, WOW.....that's all I can say. Fantastic job on the ER. She looks wonderful. I know from personal experience how time consuming and rewarding that project was. Makes ME want to pull out my rust bucket Mark 5 I've had buried in my garage for the past couple years and get on it. Maybe this winter.....(and that's a San Diego winter.....) Congrats Dick.
p.s. Love the signature line quote!!

Hey brother! Nice to see you post here again!

Thanks, that means a lot coming from you. I think you had a lot more work to do to yours, I "skated" on not having as many problems as you did, but just the same, thank you. It was fun!

Bengi was a up to date dude ....

Woah, who's the new guy here?

Micky, GOOD to see you here! Come back and visit more often!

You're inspiring me to do something with my 1000 pound (non cookware, that is a
different 500 LB story) Cast Iron collection.

Rjent said he did the same colors as Mickyd, which are Rustoleum Hammered Verde Green, and Hammered Silver. http://www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum/viewt ... 783#p57783

It is a very attractive colour scheme. I was thinking of doing one of mine that way, but Rustoleum Canada has discontinued the Verde Green, so I may go Silver and Antique Pewter,

Sorry hdoilcan, I missed this. I did another rebuild you might be interested in here:

The gold was 1) Primer (after cleaning) 2) hammered silver for texture and then 3) Gloss Gold for the color.
I use them both every day ....
