Re: 912 outlaw project
Will acid etch work enough to dull down the printable areas?
Looking good as ever Chris, nice, clean approach to everything.

Re: 912 outlaw project
Thanks Nige, what is needed to acid etch? A stencil and then the acid?
Cheers
Chris

Re: 912 outlaw project
I'd certainly use a test piece first ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I guess the main problem is finding an etching solution that doesn't take the stencil with it, I would have thought to experimenting and Google action would offer some conclusions.

Re: 912 outlaw project
Think I know why this project drags it heels at times...I get distracted doing something else
Old non-working VDO clock now a fake HEUER non-working clock, albeit abit cleaner.....

I have a small battery working which I am going to attach to the back so in theory it should work, also exploring a digital version based on a clock I found in Muji.

Re: 912 outlaw project
The chrome work is one of the few parts I have sent out to be refinished (the other being the powder coating).....this lot showed up just before Christmas Eve...3 months after dropping it off, originally I was told 4-6 weeks . However when I see how much work goes into it I can see why it took so long. Everything has been stripped down, polished and all the brackets and screws zinc coated!!....looks great and it goes someway to justify the cost

Would love to crack on....only thing stopping me is the 700km drive this week to Rotterdam and then Ferry to the UK for New Year.

Re: 912 outlaw project
Window frames are eventually back together...
![Image](http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t226/punc01/P1050013.jpg)
Guess there is a reason they don't make'em like this anymore. Thankfully my local DIY store is a aladins cave of nuts, bolts and bits of all shapes and sizes...and you can buy one at a time!
![Image](http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t226/punc01/P1050018.jpg)
Reattaching the fixing brackets with a pop rivetor had its problems, mostly skinned knuckles from using a 5mm pop rivet. The extra height of the rivet created alittle bit of resistance when inserting the frame in the door but the final result is a nice snug fit...

![Image](http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t226/punc01/P1050025.jpg)
The 'Plastic' window slides perfectly, will add the leather pull strap and trim pieces tonight...
![Image](http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t226/punc01/P1050022.jpg)
Now just need to cough up the 40 odd quid for each of the vent window seals

Re: 912 outlaw project
Just saw the clock pics Chris, I run my clock with a cheap quartz movement driving the hands. I just used a large value series resistor (10M Ohms or so..) and pick up off the 12 V car feed, don't need the battery then, which saves weight !
Cars looking great BTW
