Screen printing the head ,prepping and decaling the cabinet and refinishing the edges properly on the original Whirlwind build.

Thanks that was a great video. I guess i have missed it but after you blow dust, what liquid are you using to clean the surface?

[@highendpins]

Prep all.

Chris - Where did you come by that screen for the back of the head? Did you have that custom made?

[@highendpins]

Yes had that made I believe.

@@highendpins - I definitely need to investigate having one of those made for me, as well as one for the patent numbers. Now that I've seen it, I feel like a restoration is just sub-par without adding the screen printing to the back of the head. The bar has been set. 🙂

Chris, how did you fix that air bubble / bad spot on the front cabinet decal below the starter button? I've had air bubbles do that to me and I struggle to get them looking decent without damaging the decal. Thanks.

[@highendpins]

When that happens I poke a pin prick in it and leave it alone for a bit. Often it flattens out on its own. If not then I press it out from all directions towards that pin prick. It’s real common when decaling.

@@highendpins Thanks. I think in the past I’ve rushed the bubble removal process and made it worse. I’ll definitely do it your way next time.

Chris, would you paint a car for me?

[@highendpins]

No I don’t have the time or facility for that these days. Motorcycles are something that I do still occasionally because I do have the space for that.
