You gotta polish the base metal very well first, and make sure it's absolutely clean. There are also certain metals that won't plate onto other metals and you need to come up with a sequence of platings that will result in each metal bonding to the ones before and after it. I did some copper plating once and it sucked, it was very difficult to get it to stick.

You also need a high current, low voltage power supply and a lot of harsh chemicals, which depend on what metals you're plating.

That's fine. I can deal with that stuff. I understand what it takes to do it... I am just looking for a bit of a writeup on what will bond well to what, etc. Plus my plan was to use a PC power supply (if needed from my computer) which can push 40A no problem.

Are you doing any scouting trips? I'm planning one tomorrow, I want to pull a ton of turbos and see if I can't find a rim I'm looking for to complete a set before the vultures descend. I know you guys pulled the 14bolts you got in advance last fall.

I would be down for a scouting trip. Go in and see if there's anything I would consider worthwhile in the first place.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

SWEET!

i love upgrading from super expensive piece of shit u joints to stock spicers
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I'm talking like... 20 volts at 20-50 amps, yeah. Not sure a PC power supply will be very happy about that, you'd likely be better off with a bunch of old rectifiers stacked/paralleled and a heavy autotransformer.

OK... test failed... time to fix it more, hit START again and go home.

Easy there bat boy. I never wheeled and my Jeep still ate those things like they were pies in a fat chick's fridge.

On that note, I need to get something to replace them as soon as I break in the gears and install my SYE.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

HOLY CRAP!

I've decided not to work on my Jeep this weekend, I just found out there was a Harry Potter marathon.


Ross, please don't forget to bring your welding helmet, as I don't have one yet
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Because I need to weld....Duh.


Holy crap, there is an airgas in Hyannis, I had no idea there was one around.
I could hopefully go pick up a helmet then this weekend. But still plan on bringing yours in case, ok thanks!
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I got a helmet from overstock.com. I was actually pretty damn impressed for $50. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garde...duct.html?keywords=11637769&searchtype=Header

Only downside to that one is the large solar panel. It did seem to work very well compared to the home depot special I got next... but I managed to catch that large solar panel on the LCA mount while I was welding in part of my new rocker/floor pan. I didn't have time to wait for a new helm to get delivered so I got the home depot one, though I do plan on ordering another overstock special once I get my savings back up a bit.

I'm getting a quality helmet. Miller at least, and I'm currently talking with Bill about them. We have a Miller elite and another Miller down at our shop here at school, I'm not sure which one I like better.

Oh, and Autodark or nothing.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Best commute ever, was doing 80 by the time I got off the ramp onto 290, just barely enough traffic to detect speed traps. Stock jeeps are easily capable of going speeds in excess of my comfort zone

Hmm just tried the blazin sauce at buffalo wild wings and it wasn't very hot.

Nothing is that hot to me anymore. 3 years ago when I started dating my girlfriend I would eat her moms food and I would be crying from how spicy it is and had to eat a handful of rice for every spoonful of her food(korean). Now I eat garlic cloves and peppers raw with hot sauce on them. Awesome.
