I mention this, because now I am going to look at the accelerator on it, and if it is a cable I will probably yank it too.
That looks like a great idea on yours so of course I am going to have to see about copying it!!
thanks McMurphy,not sure how the accelerator works on the square trucks should be simliar though.

I only have a 33gal Craftsman air compressor, and I am not sure if it is big enough to warrent the purchase of a spray gun.
I am also thinking I have to order Slick Sand, I have not seen anything close to it in the autoparts shops around here.
Or should I be calling paint stores like Sherwin Williams?
not sure if you could brush it on or not, it would more than likely be to thick and crack, i had to order mine online but now i have our local parts store checking into carrying it.
