Killer tiller Bushy.

Thanks guys!dc I dilute the dye with a little rubbing alcohol,let dry and wipe it down with a damp cloth,light sanding to bring out some hilights and then seal it up with spray poly.a side note,armour all will speed up the curing big time!

Way to go bush! The transitions into the levers look really smooth.  8) Love the color and the tiller looks awesome.  :OK
