shak, I won't be doing POR on the drum, just engine paint. I always used engine paint or header paint on BBQ's, the BBQ paint never seemed to do anything.
Paul, have you gotten much done on it since I saw it?
Rick, You should never shake POR. It can (not always... but can) build pressire, which can FORCE the lid off and cover everything in the kitchen. We had a few let go at work before the shop retards would stirr only.
As far as a hootis... it's a daddy part.... I'll give you 3 guesses.
