Yes I have the Nova 4000 rpm, think I got it from Cleaveland. It's not a keyless chuck though, I would be very curious to try one tho because having to deal with the chuck all the time is a real drag!

I am going to call you "The Machine" from now on.
Because that is what you are, a Machine!
You primed all that and riveted it all in a few days!

Kent what do you mean inside? I just want to point out that if it's inside the cabin (aka on top of the 772 forward bottom skin) that would be a big big no no. Dan H has pointed out that this stuff smokes a lot when heated up and you certainly don't want that in cabin. I think however you probably meant under the skin but on top of the new skin and I just didn't understand properly.

I guess you are correct on that I thought I read and reread all that but I was going to put it sandwiched between the forward bottom skin with an additional skin over that, not per plans. I am buying about 0.50 or so to get my size 6 feet up on the pedals a little more.
I watched all his tests and didn't think this one burned ie. smoked...

Interesting, I just remember him saying at one point don't put anything on the cabin side of the firewall since most things emit smoke when heated up that high. I think he was particularly talking about this stuff...
It's kind of hard to follow now thanks to them photo hosting websites that now want money.

Well my garage has turned into a full blown maze. On the bright side I am making some stellar progress and will start putting things back together on Monday I'm thinking.

I got a fair amount of paint work done, it's not professional grade in my opinion but it's good enough.

Is that final color on some of the panels? Crazyness!
I am sure you don't put nonfire barrier on the firewall.
I am sure you are correct but I remember this stuff, in particular, being a no no:

Final color indeed, I'm going with the gray color as well as black on some various parts.
