I've owned the car for 4 years - and the build has taken about 3 of those to get to this point. I'm pretty bad at sticking with one project - so figure if I have multiple projects on the go I can procrastinate on one of the other cars when I have a lull in enthusiasm! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomble Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hey I'm jelly of your plating, looks great! And building a vapour cabinet was a great idea - did you follow any guides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS51HT Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks dude - I'm super happy with the plating. Glad I spent the coin and bought a decent kit, as the results have been pretty much perfect from the start. The vapor blasting cabinet was conceived after watching nearly every video I could stand to watch on YouTube - and then just worked out what I thought was best in terms of construction. Bought the cheapest dirty water pump I could find to move the media, built a hand piece using plumbing pieces and controlled the air with a water inlet valve I took out of an old dishwasher (which was basically just a 240v - so a 12v / 240v relay was employed to supply 240v to the solenoid whilst being controlled by a 12v foot pedal) It uses bulk air because my nozzle design is less than efficient - but it gets reasonably good results for a piece of equipment that I smashed together and abandon in the corner of the shop for months at a time (or sufficient time for most of the water to evaporate out of the bucket underneath) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
