  1. You really have to wonder who would think that little rail is suitable for picking up the car!
  2. I understand It just seems like it would be childs play for you considering all the fabrication you done in the past.
  3. How hard would it be to just add the chamfer?
  4. I agree an excellent video. I am also curious about his little blaster
  5. I would think the pump lever would absorb a lot of the energy that causes vibration but without it installed I would remove it. Now admittedly it has a low mass and a small radius but it shouldn't be very challenging to remove
  6. Yes, compound the glass. Scratches probably won't come out but they will get less noticeable
  7. I was under the impression that these hooks were used for tying the cars down on the voyage to their destination...?
  8. I would remove the eccentric. It will only add vibration and wear
  9. Will be interesting to see if your heat soak is better...
  10. You could always sand the bushings a little until they fit the way you like
  11. Its much easier to use a zip tie. Install the chain. Remove the slack then cut the zip tie and pull it out.
  12. Can someone clarify that? Maybe a sketch?
  13. I have several suspects: Tank heater wasn't on but several other items seemed to do ok I added brightener and if you over do it, it can cause blistering My current was pretty high on the first few pieces. I suspect it might be a combination of things. On an interesting note, I had some of the bigger pieces that didn't want to plate evenly. The edges looked good but the center area was still dull. So I stood there for a little while and just cycled the current really high then low. Up and down over and over. It worked really well! I believe commercial power supplies do this automatically. Anyone have an idea on how to do this at home DIY?
  14. Are you using a zip tie on the tensioner to help with assembly?
  15. Here is the plating from yesterday Wiper arms. I plated these myself because I had to wrap the chromed sections and I figure that was easier for me to do in house. It's always a challenge to get the tanks up and running when they've been sitting for a while These first few items blistered really badly. They didn't look this way until after 24 hours. I will blast them and replate later The later items seemed to have worked ok
  16. Yeah, the wiring loom was a good find!
  17. I've never seen those clips before
  18. Does Singer not offer an option?
  19. $4,000 six days to go! I figured 4-5k. Looks like it'll exceed that
  20. Patcon replied to SteveJ's topic in Convention & Events
    Momma saw that the rooms were open for booking the other day. So she booked 5 rooms. I think the plan is for most of my kids to come too. It's also the bosses birthday week. So big plans!!
  21. I made a little progress today Here is what the tar mat looks like all peeled Here are my templates for the tunnel jute I also did a little plating on some wiper parts Not as much progress as I'd like but something...
  22. You can also use the chain guides to eliminate slack. They are slotted for that reason. I might consider enlarging the slots to avoid messing with cams towers and valve geometry. Atleast temporarily
  23. I am planning on doing windshield first. I think it's the harder task
