ok, I have been holding out on you guys....

Post by Frank_Cox » May 19th, 2012, 4:27 pm

Dcman and I built this 100 pound propane bottle mini reverse flow and I finished it today.
Along the way I found some paint they is rated at 900 degrees F that can be tinted to any color. So I used French blue which is a Ford color.
Here are some of the pics....

Thanks fellers! I will make a post about the paint monday... I left all the paper work at the shop. anyway, The wheels are actually 8x20 rear lawnmower wheels with some hub caps made by a company called wheelies. I did not plan any of that... I was walking through lowes with the intent on getting some standard pneumatic wheels and seen the hubcaps, I said to myself "well, you can't NOT buy those dern things..." so I found the only wheels they would fit and rolled with it lol.....

Yup !!!! That right there is just pretty dern cool.

I love it.

Got a question on the roller chain though.

Did you tack one side or do both pivots move to let the door sit completly flat to the seal?

Wheelies huh. May have to find some for my two mowers. Spinners maybe. LOL
