I agree, find something cheap that acts as insulation rather than using an old dirty funky carpet. That aluminum bubble stuff is nice b/c it wont absorb any moisture ever. It may be a bit of a bitc* to lay down smooth over diverse contours of a floorboard as it is essentially bubble wrap coated...

You can get carpet pad for cheap. I bet you can get a bunch of 6 or 12' wide remnants from carpet remnant operations. Goes under carpet on homes. I have been around that material before. It is good sound deadner and insulation. The only thing is that it probably cannot tolerate over 300 or so...

http://www.leathermagicpro.com/catalog/vinylClean/vinylSoftener.html or Black Box Marine Grade Vinyl & Plastic ReNu Just looked a bunch up and found very little that claimed to actually soften and such. The above claim to soften the vinyl. Vinyl is petroleum based so soaking with an oily...

Hi All, I ran another test with the most important correct ingredient that I was missing. This one was 5L tap water, 250 ml white vinegar and about 1 cup of zinc sulphate (10 pounds from amazon / Earthworks) is like 13 bucks. I did not have the Epsons salt to complete the proper equation so I...

After 10 minutes, a very even coating of zinc. I put it back in for another 10 as the harder metal materials appeared to be less coated. The normal steel material / smaller nuts appear thick coated already.

Anyone have updates? Here are mine: I have a pile of blasted smaller parts. Bought a 26 dollar grille rotisserie kit a Lowes. Couple plastic colanders at True Value. I built a rotisserie zinc electroplating tumbler to evenly expose smaller parts to the solution and dissuade / wash off poor...

Encouraging info about electroless nickel: http://www.finishing.com/112/90.shtml

Yea, mine are blasted clean. But just little speck in a pit causes lack of plating, so excellent degreasing then a vinegar bath is also super crucial thus far. So, an update, since the caswell system has a pump, I put a pump with an intake filter and flow regulator into the bath at moderate...

So, I sprayed some blasted parts with laquer thinner, blew them dry and dipped them in vinegar for an hour and then tried plating them: You can see thin areas but definite progress as these were only in the "machine" for an hour. During the bath, I turned them and flipped them a couple times to...

Bought the only source of zinc I could find in my area and I am not even sure it is zinc. Claims it is. http://www.lowes.com/pd_215441-13579-5157_0__?Ntt=zinc+anode&UserSearch=zinc+anode&productId=3093111&rpp=48 Built a basic rig, mixed up a solution: 4.5 liters water 300 grams Epsom salts...

I am so itching to plate some parts. It looks like this thread is a bit stale but.. I see zero point in paying for basic plated chassis stuff. Particularity if you can follow the plate with a short spell in a tumbler full of walnut shells. I got this from a thread, poster's name was Snakeoil...

I am considering zinc followed by black, blue or yellow chromate now. Longevity of corrosion resistance and a nice factory looking finish are my concerns.

All those fancy motor oil additives probably stick to the nuts. How is the corrosion resistance?

Don't seem like a lot of interest about the fun of not sending off nine hundred miscellaneous small parts to get plated (and potentially lost). Well, here is a link to a guy who has a pretty great system for small parts and his results are excellent: http://www.nulltime.com/zincplating/index.html

Anybody have any updates? I did caswell's cold blackening after blasting bolts super clean and soak in laquer thinner. The results looked great but were hardly corrosion resistant when left in the rain for a couple weeks.

Hey, how about posting a picture of what the hole looks like now?

Those look very neat.Color is sweet. Hey, can you post a pic of them dimmed half way? I always heard LEDs behaved weird at half dim. Do they behave like normal bulbs with the dimmer? Thx!

Wow!

I suggest a wire cone wheel on a cheap harbor freight right angle grinder. I have used mine like 1000 times. Then after that. The ospho mentioned, probably applied with a stiff plastic brush or something to get it down in all the pores and crevices of the area. I believe all the rust...

Hey, If you have more time than money: Pull your carpet. Remove the pad off the back. Mix up some really hot water and half a bottle of dish washing liquid in a 5 gallon bucket full with a lid. Take the stuff to car wash. Then pour/ brush on with a broom. Apply it all. Preferably let it...

So, I was looking at a 71 charger steering wheel and it looks nice. What steering wheels have been successfully transplanted with out much fabrication, onto A Body steering column? I have a 73 and 74 duster. Both came with same skinny 3 spoke wheel. I reckon three main issues that have to...

Regarding your cowl. Since you have interior out and heater core assembly out? You can access the cowl area marginally thru the air tunnel holes on each side under dash. I would flood the cowl with boiling hot soapy water in 5 gallon buckets thru the inlet front of windshield. This will...

First off, get rid of the rodents. Secondly take every bit of your interior out and clean it thouroughly and dry it in the sun for 2 days. Or inside where it is dry and warm. Remove your carpet, take off the sound absorbent jute and throw it away. Buy new jute or carpet pad at lowes. Soak...

Heheh, floor board looks like a shot gun holes.. I just started a thread about 01 dakota extended cab seats. I am seriously looking into putting these type in my Duster. I reckon if you are a big fellow or a small fellow that plays a role in what kind of seat suits you. I weight 170 / 5'8"...

I was riding around in my 4x4 01 Dakota (extended cab 2 door) the other day when I realized that the seats were great. Slim profile, fit my body shape, moderately curved to hold the mid section and buttox during corners, non intrusive head rest that is part of the seat. Heck they look like an A...

I use polyurethane caulk made by loctite at lowes. Clean, scrape, clean with judicious amounts of alcohol, the apply. http://www.lowes.com/5-10/_/N-2z8vj/pl?Ntt=polyurethane+caulk&rpp=16 basically 0 shrinkage, high grade solids, acts as an adhesive too, remains slightly flexible forever, not...

Cool

We have an almost all original Jensen Interceptor. Has factory am-fm 8 track. Hid a 4 channel amp inside the console ran an analog stereo ipod type input. Can listen to either ipod / 8-track. or both since it is wired thru the same amp inputs.
