paint some frets and strings on that!

 

HELP! Any ideas!

I had to replace the hoses and the new hose connectors are a bit taller,
So i had to replace some of the AN-4 straight fittings with 45's for clearance.

They do Not seal! on the NPT side...maybe the threads are slightly smaller.
I tried Permatex Avionics gasket sealant. (for gaskets, threads, 1000psi, Gasoline / Alky safe.)
Didn't work
It's Aluminum to aluminum.
1. I may try to TIG'em on?...(after i clean that goop off)
2. Maybe ask a Machinist or "cut n send" to make some new ones. # $$$$ !?

I've driven it a bunch B4 and On / Off a couple of times)
never had Any problem with leaks!

Any ideas help!

I like the lighter style too some black fades at the edges...

 

Supposed to be the 30's Indy car V8 logo ... more towards the front.
Maybe darken the circle to look like a sound hole...?

 

That sunburst ide really have potential to look great.

 

Thanks Anders!
I've ONLY found one car with a real sunburst - faded to dark at the edges.
This rover is faded at the bottom...
I like it!

This is not a Sunburst in my mind...because it's a fade in a box.
Sharp edges.

Now i just gotta do "some body work" and start practicing the Winfield Fade technique...

 

Found out it's the AN side that is leaking! Not the NPT side.

Fortunately br*** is harder than aluminum so my new hoses should still be good?

Check out my test rig.
Never would have found it in the car.

Loving the sunburst idea and you presented it so convincingly. Like the Triumph fade.
Gene would like this idea too.
You Will need that gold exhaust though.

Have burst painted a few my self...
