That looks really great. I've been thinking about doing mine for about 6 mos. Did you have any trouble getting the lenses off and back on?

Thanks

Good idea keeping the outer shell black. Nice contrast on the inner pits. Well done. Mine's black, so I may paint the outer shell a dark green or something. I'll have to think about this...

It was my mustang that he painted the buckets for. Definately was a great work. Havent had any fogging or condensation but havent had any rain until today. I'll check and see tomorow. I dont think that there will be though, Roger sealed them up really well and I doubt that water could get in.

if he let us know then he wouldnt make any money.

I tried it, I got all the way to the part where you hae to take the lense off, basiccly you just have to use a box cutter to break the glue, its pretty heavy duty.

put it in the oven on about 200-250 for long enuff to get the clue to soften up and pull the casing and the lens apart from one another. its not something new.

sorry i forgot i posted pics over here, lol


yeah i heated them at 220 for 20 mins, then had to seperate them, its not exactly the easiest thing. who ever used a box cutter, i dont know how u did tht, cause te cover and the bucket fit togeher, the bucket has a channel for the cover to fit into.....so i dunno how he cut it out, unless he cut the cover......
