    Thanx Tony!

    I have messed with all sorts of concepts behind the scenes. Gotta thank lacquer thinner and bead blaster. They are like miracle erasers.

    I had a black husky logo on ignition cover and that was over kill.
    I highlighted casting lines black on clutch cover.
    Seemed like everything I did wasn't working.
    Hit me this am that I needed some black on the cylinder to transition from the black cases, brushed covers then into the cylinder.
    Heck I even sprayed the center cases in gold but then was too much gold.

    Thanx

    Thanx guys! I appreciate the comments and support!

    Hopefully can get the bottom end of 390 together next weekend. I know there some tricks to timing the tranny and gear selector in 4th gear. So may need some help? I kinda did a mock up in an empty case but maybe post some pics that someone can verify it is correct.

    Did these covers this am to add some black in.

    Used two layers of duct tape and actually etched the magnesium with logo.

    Then did them in black with clear.

    Ok I am done! No more stuff till I get plastic on!

    Your huskies look. Phenomenal

    I am looking forward to getting my finished 450 posted here, there is a certain satisfaction to completing a challenging project.

    Thanx Mike! They can be very frustrating at times. Someday will be the pay off, to admire our work.

    The shop came with the farm and there is another one connected that my son uses.

    I sure have painted a lot of cars, trucks, bikes,etc..... In it.

    Like to get milling machine and metal lathe yet, but we shall see.

    Oh, don't forget to send pics.....

    Crank back for 390:)!

    Got new end on it so I can put internal rotor cr ignition on it.

    Thing should spool up fast and I raised ports up about 1mm and took care of exhaust port and intake where it transfers to the boost ports.
