RE: Carter AFB replacement?

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,  I don't think they come in that 'dull' finish. They have the 
bright and the super bright :-)  How about painting it with the 
stainless steel paint I used on the head display and my hood scoop? That 
paint is super expensive, $22 a can, but it is the best ever and goes a 
long way. It is used on outdoor transformers, etc, by the utility 
companies. I don't think we can just get the stuff but I have a contact 
I can get it from. Legally !!! I have a little bit left in the can I 
used.

BTW your 331 hemi-head will be back on April 20th along with my car.
