Working on an 04 VW - definitely not HAMB worthy, but my kid needs the car… put a corroded shock top in and added some lug and brake bolts. For...
I am still on my first run of the stuff so I can’t answer yet.

You are correct. I was mistaken on my baking soda number. It is 63g per 100g of citric acid. Oddly enough, I think I buffed when I mixed up my #1...
What he said - totally have no idea but it sounds legit!
The solution was mixed 8/22/24. I will update with more images and I will note when it “feels” like it starts degrading in performance.
Washing soda IS ddifferent than baking soda. The ratio of citric acid to soda is this in the BB video: 100g citric acid to 40g washing soda....
Give it a try. I am no chemist - barely passed in high school. It works like magic.
I am coveting that setup! That’s a huge tub! Wish I had space for that!
I work at a sheet metal job shop so I used clean scrap sheet metal pieces. Probably only a light mill oil on them. I usually placed a plastic...
I tried vinegar a couple of times and didn't have the results I was hoping for - and the smell in the shop was not pleasant. I have heard people...
I have used electrolysis for years doing a few old blocks and heads that way, but the oxide coating left behind is a bit of a buggar to get off...
If you use the citric acid and baking soda combo --- be sure your container you're mixing in is way larger than you think you will need. It will...
That is awesome! What’s the mix ratio water/citric acid for that tub?
It gets even easier! That's awesome! I will have to try that as well.
I came across this video on youtube. Looked interesting enough to give it a try. I was pretty surprised at the results for common household stuff...
I only have around 3,500 collected fonts. I also only use a handful regularly. Every once in awhile, I still like creating the ones that never...
I have been steered here in the past for sbc suffix info http://1968ss.com/sbcsuffix.asp
If I only knew some corvette guys.
So I picked up another 327 for cheap. Cheap enough that if it’s toast, I am still okay. This is what I’ve not seen before: [ATTACH] The...
There is always an easier way. 15 seconds on fontsquirrel.com upload your image and this is a really good font to start with... [ATTACH] The...
If you can't find something close enough.
It's possible to engineer a font from those letters. That's what I did from a tailgate...
I remember paste up when it was the super cool waxing machine! Good times - back when you had to have skills with either an x-acto or a pencil to...
Past couple of days I couldn't sleep. Finally got around to starting another font based on some recognizable content. It is still a work in...
The blow dryer dried everything out. I am going to braze the holes in the pan to seal it up and reassemble tonight. I hope to start it up tomorrow.
-40 is some serious cold! I ran the dryer in each cylinder for about 30 minutes between yesterday and today. I then shot more WD40 into the plug...
I’m going to go get more WD40 tonight. I am going to go through and “defrost” all the cylinders before I hook up the remote start switch.
My garage isn’t heated and it’s been in the teens overnight. And it is colder than hell!
Before offloading my new 327 from the trailer, I sealed it up and ran to the car wash to knock off anything loose. It looks like my seal under my...
