That was incredible!!!!! that is the koolest way to make a road I have seen.

I tried a road using the metal shavings left after turning brakes, Took board for a base, covered road area in elmers/water combo, applied shavings with a sifter. rolled out road with metal ram shaft from a hydrolic cylinder. I over sprayed the whole thing with another wet coat of the elmers mix. next morning I had a 2 ft long rusted road and a nephew asking if it was supposed to do that?

hey live and learn right. lucky that rustoleum covers almost anything.

Good luck on the drag strip and post some pics when your done.
