R Rick Brown Member Dec 31, 2014 #8 Thanks guys for the positive feedback! I am hoping to produce many more in the New Year. Rick
R Rick Brown Member Dec 31, 2014 #9 Hi Calvin, The red color is actually a 2 part epoxy. One of my buddies that I use to race GNCC's with worked for an industrial paint company and gave me a few cases of product. It's strong stuff. Thought it would spice up the file work Rick
