I'm still curious how you do the copper plating without dipping it into a bath. Pls give us some science lessons?!

[SD202]

this is my favorite build thread ever, my god.

+1 I know nothing about plating so seeing it done outside of a giant tank you dip the parts in is very interesting. Keep up the amazing work sir!

Finished cleaning up the rear deck. Got all that nasty glue shit off and put a coat of primer down.

Aww man, all the copper plating pics aren't working for me. I saw a glimpse of it on one of the welding pics on page 11 tho. 'Dis gon' be gud.

If it's not a wreck, and you have $1800 and a spot to store it, I fail to see any downside.

Well considering his shop is the size of my house and his RR is worth more then my house he should be okay.

So I found a W128 for sale for $1800 in my town today and I really want to do it. The guy doesn't even realize what he has. Thoughts?

If you get it I forbid you from working on another car until

A) The RR is a rolling chassis w/ frame
B) Penny is completely copperized.

agreed.

[mikey G]

No title and rusted to shit? Otherwise doooo it
Can't be that bad and will be paid for when you sell a door handle from the RR lol
