Hey Bruce....I don't remember doing a tutorial on decanting. But...The way I Decant is....The spray cans with the remove-able spray tips is the only ones' that this will work with. I bought a couple of cans of spray Brake cleaner. They come with a tip that has a red tube that fits in the end. This setup can be exchanged for the tip on the paint can. I put on a pair of latex gloves...Grab a sheet of paper towel(for the back spray that comes out of the bottle that your going to be spraying into)...grab a GOOD paint container with a good seal-able lid..I use Glass(easy to see the paint). Tilt the open container a tad while holding it at the top with the paper towel as a blocker. Slide the red tube into the glass container with the paper towel laying over the opening(to keep most of the over spray at a minimum) and start spraying. I usually aim for the side wall as this will let the container fill up a little more before it starts to spatter to much. Hope this helps you Bruce....

Thanks Gary. I guess there is no non-messy way to do it.

Very SAD indeed Bruce. Jim Twitchell also told me about him. Jim's also in the Performance Club. Here's an update for this guy....I did take a few scale inches out of the Grill surround. It sets higher and just in line with the front bars.
The grill area....
The front push bars,cowcatcher,chrome horn or what ever it's called in your area :-D ...was fabbed and is in mockup...It's pinned so it can be removed for painting and then re-attached afterwords....
The rear bars were also fabbed and are in mockup the same way(pinned)...
With that work completed...I can NOW concentrate on the interior floor and bar work...Thanks for stop'in by and look'in around...

Thank you Bobby for the compliment....
Here's a small update to show that I did build something today...LOL..
I took the seat from the 34 Rod kit and made it into a Racing seat. The seat is in mockup as I just finished with all the fab work. Now...it's sanding to shape time. Here's a few pics for a look...

Thanks for the look in Bruce...I changed the side bolsters on the bottom of the seat which I like better. They need to be filled and sanded to shape... Here's a look.....
Here it is sanded to shape....

Here's a little progress update....The interior sheet work is finished and Front and Back Hoops are in. The front hoop stress cracked when I put the top bars in with MEK, which of course made them weak. That also means that I didn't heat the rod enough to keep it solid. But...it's an easy fix and I'll do that tomorrow when I put the side and back cross bars in. This whole setup is pinned and will be removable to paint...thanks for stop'in in folks...

Thanks Bruce.....
Here's an update....95% of the bar work is complete. The front shock mounts need to be fabbed along with the racing harness mounting points. The Dash also needs to be fabbed along with all the gauges. This chassis is just about ready for primer/paint. Here are a few pics of the bar work....
