Getting ready for the Annual Meet

[David's8]

I also added some additional (and, I hope, tasteful) features which I will post on some photos tomorrow.

Come on David, where are the photos, or have you decided that they aren't tasteful enough for us?

Truth is I have only just downloaded the photos in the last few minutes and I cannot really say that I can see the difference!! I attach a few photos to see what you think. I have used 3mm "chrome" trim to highlight the drab grey trim lines. As you can see, the rings are sat on top of the grey, plastic rings (as I didnt want to drill out the originals) and whilst it gives them a slightly "3-D" appearance you can see the slight mismatch in size (only 2-3mm - but it shows).

Very tasteful indeed, although that engine is disgustingly clean

Now where did I leave that tin of elbow grease?

You've done a very neat job of the chrome lines

Was that just self-adhesive chrome strip?

Thanks, yes, just 3mm chrome strip with 3M backing. Another couple of photos which show off the lines....

Well I guess we'll find out soon enough if 3M backing can cope with the heat under there!

If we arrive at the meet, your horizontal strips hanging vertically and my rings stuck to the underside of the bonnet, we'll know we need to find a more suitable adhesive!

I'm working on the theory that the hotter it is, the stickier the glue will be

now, where's that fire extinguisher......
