1976 MM2 Restoration - COMPLETED! (new pic added)suppose I should've put 1976 MM2 base in here  (see C&P)
anyway, my dad & I have been progressing well.
I sanded f.box a few nights ago.
here's the result after 1st coat of vht paint- sprayed this evening. I'm quite pleased . 
2nd coat has been applied- as instructed on can.

I do like the VHT paint.
It gives a great finish once baked.

This will be great. There will be lots of brass to polish on top of your good work with the paint.
I'm sure it will be a fine model again soon

... darn nice! Are you going to re-paint the fly wheel?

Looks good, if your planning on running it no need to polish the brass as it will just get dirty again. 
I hate polishing brass.
