Wayne asked me to post some photos in this thread and I had trouble with the zip files. I totally forgot about them at that point. Here are the photos he has not already posted. Sorry I didn't get that done promply.

Thanks: Right now working on hood & bogie wheels. My son dropped off the hood he finished Sunday night.He said paint & clearcoat must cure for about a week before putting on decals. I think she shines probably better than when she was young in 71. will post pics later.We are drilling out rivets on each bogie wheel,cleaning,sandblasting,priming & painting each individual part of them , then repacking with wheelbearing grease & reassembling them.

I have seen some awful peeling and cracking occur when decals are applied too soon. I think the adhesive contains a bit of solvent that affects the new paint.

The new paint can also contain solvents that attack the material of the decal.

I guess the vapors that make it smell like new paint are the same vapors that need to evaporate out of the paint.
