peter lena 8,625 #1 Posted July 11, 2022 just some morning shots , before a check over , this is my frankenhorse for all my experiments , for problem removal / upgrades , any modifications were thoroughly tried and verified as a solid fix to any related problem, lots of hours , then apply it to my other 2 horses . if I tell you a change works , it reliably does . typically , just altered the way anything was set up , or regularly failed . really don't even think about the hours, because i,m always snoopin around . jump on anything as soon as it shoes it self . greasy pete 3 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,625 #4 Posted July 11, 2022 @Pullstart original paint , over the years , I have rubbed it down with penetrating oil to feed the paint , its really a very simple /easy thing to do , and it works without effort . originally did that on used stuff I got , don't even think about it , clean cloth , aerosol lubricant on clean paint , pow ! that lubricant fed paint is deep and solid in shine , weeks later , just some spray wax , try it , you'll like it , pete 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
