Have you modified the bead roller at all? I have the same thing, it works, but it works much better if you stiffen the two arms so they can't scissor back and forth. And a steering wheel makes it a lot easier to use than the crank

Hey Lee,

Yes I welded some angle iron to each arm, and drilled holes to insert pins to keep the arms together. The pins can be removed when working with wider pieces.

I still use the crank, but a wheel would be nice..... but I really don't use it that often.

Hi Guys, Quick update, not very exciting, but it is something to get accomplished in this heat.

I picked up some pulleys and brackets that needed some paint, so I gave them a quick coat.

I have found that this formula provides a good hard finish when dry, and it allows me to add flat black, or gloss black, to give a variety of different sheens under the hood. I have heard that more hardener will 'flatten' the sheen as well, but I am still experimenting with that. ( 3-4 parts paint, 1 part Acetone, and .25- .5 Hardener )

also, for you Americans, the paint is just a Canadian 'knock off' of Rustoleum.

Thanks for posting this. I've got the paint and acetone just need to pick up some hardener and I will give it a try.
