bryan_m Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 thanks Jason! i appreciate the kind words...... do you hit your embossing powder with a heat gun when you use it? one of the guys here told me you could, and it locks it in place really nice... i picked up a few different colors of it a couple weeks ago, and i like it so far, and it just looks better to me. cheers bryan

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Looks like it was worth the wait. Hard to beat a clean, green shoebox Ford. Nice to see a Ford engine in there too.
