    Start/Stop handle, what do you do?

    I leave mine out. I leave her in gear as well. I installed a Cat switch under the dash so there is no starting without getting under the hood and doing a bit of work.

    How much leakage on a Deuce

    In the words of my good friend who worked on deuces for 25 yrs "best way to kill a deuce is by NOT running it. Run her for a while and watch the leaks stop". His advice has worked good for me. Run her hard for a while and then see what remains leaking.

    Sherwin Williams CARC paint Type 2

    I think I used about 5-6 gallons on my truck. Mind you, I tore my truck done pretty far so many parts were painted front, back etc. I also painted inside, outside, underhood, bed etc. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=12521&highlight=shot+CARC+today

    I used this harborfreight gun for my truck, trailer, accessories etc. I love this gun. Works great, easy to clean and was on sale for $9.99. I liked it so much I bought another for future projects. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=47016
