The great powdercoating experiment part deux; DT green lante

Postby signalstand on Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:01 pm

Well I just had to go back to the well one more time http://photobucket.com/greenbeacon

This is a DT beacon that I made from leftover parts used for the 7th and Grand signal

:thumbsup:
That beacon looks GREAT in green. Mine is school bus yellow and I liked it at the time but I think that green gives it a better look. I'm going to pull mine apart and paint it green. There are some other things that I've been wanting to do to it anyway... someday.

Looks great Steve! :thumbsup:

My apologies, but I miss a lot of threads on the forums these days and fear I missed where you go into detail on your PC setup?

PC setup :confused: Apparently I missed that one too :rotfl: But I understand... being the commish and saving lives one knucklehead victim at a time will fill up your schedule for sure!

That looks perfect Steve!! Great restore!! :thumbsup:

Where did you get the rope for the gasket? The rope I used on my D was a little smaller diameter than what you used, yours looks better.
