Several things- 1. Looks good with the new paws! Wanting to 8-10, 255-275 myself.
2. Get a good heavy gauge wire and go straight to the "HI" tab from the battery. Do not pass go, etc... The hi wire in my 87 LOOKED good, come to find out the stud in the block under it had damn near melted and had no connection. LOOKED just fine. Also, see if you have hot to the switch from where the arm slides onto the contacts. Get a light/meter and see what's up with the hi wire, I bet you got nuthin. Give it a shot. You're doing great!
3. I saw that you're shooting that liner with a standard gun. Oy Vey! Go to the car paint store and ask for a Schutz (shoots) gun. Get a bottle if you need it. It's designed to shoot undercoating, etc. and makes that job child's play. Not even expensive. Again, looks great!
