Well, my first attempt at powder coating worked out great. Two Stag 
valve covers and the brake master cylinder (automatic, so no clutch) 
came out looking just amazing.

Now that the stuff is all set up, I expect to use it quite a bit, 
between getting the Stag engine/trans back in and rebuilding the TR6.

I'm also going to try a TR3 wire wheel, just to get the hang of it.
