Gene I still have the paint stand turret mounted to the radial mount and that thing weighs a lot.  I want to get the wheels on and clear coat it while it is on the stand and then I will take off the turret and weigh it.  At this point Gene I do not know...

Someone asked me how I did the lettering.  I do it by putting decal paper in my printer and then going to Power Point and choosing the font, color and size of the font and printing them out.  Those are water slide decals done in purple and then I clear coat over them.
