I have a few updates to this old file.  The miles I have put on this Javelin have been enjoyable and trouble free. I look for areas to tweak, and will post some pics of the latest improvements.


Looking forward to it !

I finally had time to replace the incorrectly polished rocker moldings with the correctly finished ones that feature a brushed satin bottom with a highly polished top lip. The improvement is dramatic.  Thanks to Ray Sims for his skilled metal finishing.

Scott:
Still no pin stripe along the side? Are you hoping to get to Collinsville/ St. Louis, this summer for the AMO convention? It would be great to see you and the car again.

What an absolutely gorgeous car. Very nice work. If you don't mind me asking, what process did you use to to polish the rocker moldings? I have to do mine and I would like to know how you achieved such a nice finish.

Thanks!  My friend has great talent with stainless,also he has a special machine that creates the "brushed" effect. I'm very pleased and now enjoy looking down low at my rocker moldings!

Do you know what the machine that he uses is? I am interested in what the process is.

No,sorry, he works out of a large stainless refinishing business,  I doubt anything like that is available to the general public.
