Geez man! That roller pedal is making my eyes hurt next to all that gloss. Time to get out the toothbrush! Nice work regardless.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! And YES i am going to take care of the roller pedal, it looks a lot worse in the pics but it will get the full treatment as well!!! I should have the pan wrapped up this week and set to the side , so stay tuned Zimblewinder we will get that roller pedal in fully restored condition soon!!! Cool
