  8. Good points Bill...My BIGGEST problem on any build is GLASS!!! Could you go thru a list of do's and don'ts on glass? I fixed cameras and specialized in lens repair, so I know a lot about glass (next to nothing about the plastic type )...Smudges, scratches, gloves and future.....I think I've tried them all......

    Got Foose?

    My signature has been the blue lights....I use one drop of clear blue acrylic paint in the center of each light .let dry then place clear lens on bucket and use one drop of future to hold lens on(repeat as needed)...if done correctly the lens stays clear but from head on looks blue..check the photos of my '41 Fade head on these are dark blue!
