I considered it but don't have the funds right now. Glad Leon got it...

Ok. Today I messed with this some more. Set the Volts all the way up, Amps all the way down cut it on. Tried to crank the amps up and this is all I got without the resistor Added a 1 Ohm 100 Watt resistor, this is what I got Tried just the 1 Ohm resistor and tried to get the current up but no dice. According to this my power supply is bad... http://forum.caswellplating.com/forum/electroplating-questions/6724-my-power-supply-has-me-confused-can-t-control-current?t=6535

By the looks of your lady I would say your family is growing. You didn't post an asking price or I didn't see it...

The needle valves are probably stuck open or your electric fuel pump is applying more than 3 psi...

Unless the leak is coming from the cowl area...

From the looks of it, you'll be the passenger...

Be careful you don't tear the gaskets. There is a thread somewhere on rebuilding them and sourcing parts...

I am leaning towards Zed's position. Many coatings once cured don't take a second coat well with out scuffing, which is impossible in this instance

Were there stickers on the cases where the grinder marks are?

I have found that mechanical pump valves stick sometimes. They can be opened up and broken loose. then reassembled. They tend to work fine after that...

I would think if you let it cure for a while it will be fine. I would like to know the paper towel bit was encapsulated...

The engine... Exquisite!

Did those come from Norm?

With too much beer, my inability to walk straight does not mean I don't desire to walk straight...

I bought a 73 240z one time and put it in the backyard. It took her a month to notice it...

I never been able to drink that much beer...

You need to find a good frame shop in your area. They can probably salvage that frame rail and pull the car back the way it needs to be...

I think I am 7 years in right now. the car is jambed out and ready to start putting some suspension back in and lines and such. If I got really serious I could be done in a year and a half but I have a large family and am self employed so these projects take a long time. If I live long enough that's good. If I don't then it's "all gain"...

I agree, if he just bought it for $25k and had bids to almost $59k that's a home run. Sell it!

I agree, feed it off an alternative fuel source to get it home

3 1/2 hours from me...Tell them to look me up if they're in the area...

5k will buy you a decent project these days. Really clean daily drivers are in the low to high teens. Just goes up there from there...

I run more pressure at my gun. They make what is called an air cap pressure tester. You don't need one but it was very informative to use one. Many P sheets have pressure at the cap not at the gun. I checked my gun one time with air cap tester and I am probably running 30-35 psi at the gun. I had to actually turn it up to get to where they wanted it. Some of the pressure recommendation is environmental to limit the airborne VOC's. The problem with too much pressure is you have more overspray and less paint on the car. Which means you need more paint. Yellow is not a very opaque paint and can be difficult to cover darker primers that is why I decided to run white basecoat under my yellow. If you are running lighter coats you won't get the build the manufacturer is looking for and it can also cause orange peel if you don't have enough material to level out. There is a fine line between too little and too much causing runs and drips. Your fan should probably be broader too like 8" or so. There is a test I use to use where you shoot the gun against a piece of cardboard and test the fan. You were supposed to hold it there for some count which I don't remember. It should paint a nice sort of oval fan and not run. That helps you adjust the material. I just adjust all these things by eye now and my pressure gauge at my gun is illegible. Also I don't keep my fan constant. I narrow it for tight areas and broaden it for bigger areas but you have to adjust the paint volume too when you narrow your fan or you'll have runs HTH

Where in SC?

That's the quite the operation...This is on my wish list...
