copper plating information Apparently this is a patented process.

copper plating the chrome bits So As you may remember I was copper plating the chrome on my 49. Last attempt I was struggling to get some stuff plated. The door handles and some of the non stainless steel would not take copper. I changed up my operation, made it big enough to fit the grill and...

Current set up is the flathead Ford and 49 Transmission from the original F-6. Kinda grindy. Not synchronized. Keeping the flathead.:) Will work on some pictures. Way to many hobbies and other interests but I keep plugging at this one.

Just checking in. Have been driving the 49 a bit. just around local. I am in the process of putting together a parts list to do a transmission change. Going to use the Ford AOD. Speedway makes a conversion kit. bought a Lokar shifter and brake lever arm. Have been using the original park brake...

LOL. Several lame reasons. Just looking for something a little different. Did not want to do any more welding and painting. Seems foil should face the heat source. I also don't like the idea of the butyl inside the cab in the event of a fire. Gotta get to driving this thing ASAP!

copper plating busy week. I have figured out how to copper plate my rear signal light brackets. The bottom is unplated. I have been able to plate SS and previously chromed items in test mode ... so you may see the direction this is going:)

WOW! I've been gone so long.... Torchie built a whole new car!

that took a while... Primed. The Hood is drying in the garage right now. Still need to do the inside of the cab. All metal. No filler. Work kinda took over for a while there but I have made some progress. Hoping to wire and install the glass this winter.

I just put a servo motor on my Consew 206RB1 Made a huge difference in slow control. the servo motor has the same size pulley as the machine and I will look for a small motor pulley to really slow it down for very fine control. I have an antique Singer 29K treadle and it will go as slow as you...
