Thanks for the pics Bishop!
PS... the one on the right is a defective one... so people don't think those repair blobs are common.

Poor Autobot...
I actually tried anodizing that one several times, and took a few licks off the face to clean it up on the mill again to the point the bolt holes busted through. Thought maybe I could fuse some molten aluminum in there with a MIG but you can see welded aluminum shares a density with cast, and looks crappier than billet. Live and learn... so I made ANOTHER one.
I have the process down a little better now, using a hypodermic needle to get the anodize dye down into the relieved spots before sealing. Still, I don't think I would do it again... little frustrating. I would leave it to the owner to paint the red in the slots I think...

Oh you know you're a glutton for punishment! hahaha
I still think you did an awesome job, well worth waiting for.
