Re: Rattle can helmet (flat black) w/ pics.

Nice job! I got some of that same paint at walmart the other day it was $2.34+tax/can here in canada. and went to get some gloss a day later that same paint had dropped to $1.94+tax/can, I thought I had hit the jackpot... tht is what we get for only having 33 million people instead of 309 million lol

Re: $1.17 cost me this!

thanks for posting that, a great lesson for us all! and Sorry for your loss of piston and jug though. Is there a big bore kit you could get to replace both possibly, might be a cheap option. I know if I cook my spree piston and jug i'll be ordering a boig bore kit.
