Paint Job

[IllMarty]

I went to post a pic of my L3000DT and found I grabbed wrong mem. stick. Oh well here is a picture anyway. This is at the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet,Il. We finished it last spring.

So what's with the fins on that thing?? Someone planning on trying to fly it /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif?

 

[IllMarty]

Golfgar4, Those are decorative fins and posts. They were a pain to paint. They are what happens when the architect has no relation to the guy paying the bills. Marty

Marty, I hear ya /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif. But I gotta say it quietly, cause my wife's an interior designer who also designs exteriors /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif. I wonder if that makes her a ex-interior designer /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif?

Are they decorative, or are they concealing cellphone antennas?

 

[IllMarty]

No cell pnone antennas on them... yet. The will be hard to reach. The tops of the posts are 135' up. They will have to get a crane and man-basket to reach that height. We painted them on the ground before being welded into place.

Marty, you bring back memories. I played with stock cars many, many years ago and have been at that track. Hometown was DeKalb, Ill back then.

MarkV,
That's funny. I am going to DeKalb in the morning to look at a tank that is going to be repainted this year. I also lived there a year when I attended NIU. Nice town. They sure use some BIG TRACTORS in that Corn/Soybean area. Marty

I'll bet that the wife would like it better as........ an in-exterior designer./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

You guys must have nerves of steel to do a job like that.
