Re: Soap on a Rope
Looks fantastic, and glad you're on the mend with your health!
Do you know what the original application for your brakes was? Is it newer silverado with 6 on 5.5 pattern?

Re: Soap on a Rope
If you hold your phone vertical and then lay it over to the left so its horizontal with what is normally the bottom of your phone now on the right side and snap pics for the board that way they should post up correctly. Hope that makes sense haha.
I've never heard of fractal burning can you tell me how that's accomplished please.

Re: Soap on a Rope
Fractal burning is done with a microwave transformer, you use a solution of water and baking soda and essentially electrocute the wood, burning craters in the wood. And after scrapping out all the charred wood you fill the burns with epoxy and seal with a uv stable bar top coating. A lot of work to get them to this stage. Also known as Lichtenberg figures. Very dangerous and Ive heard of people that have died doing this.

Re: Soap on a Rope
Hey guys, This is my tailgate logo I made up, pretty proud of it. It started as a paper template I made. I taped it to My old 62 GMC tailgate and used the dirty finger trick to trace out the letters. I then scanned it and turned it into a G code for my X-Carve. A very slow program took 23 hours to cut out.

Re: Soap on a Rope
I'd like to thank everyone for their feedback! And my Health is doing much better. Still fighting this back pain though.
Here she is with new fenders and doors. I couldn't find a happy medium to start with the aftermarket fenders so these old ones are doing the trick, just some rust holes to patch and some side mirror holes to fill. |

Re: Soap on a Rope
Ah yes... that wrap is so fun to work with. I did my Jeep from the headers to the tail pipe.

Re: Soap on a Rope
Ive got the first half done. Still have the tail pipe to do. Not perfect but I don't think its possible to get this stuff perfect. I will also add the silicone coating once I pick the color. I have black already, before I noticed that it came in three colors. So Ive ordered the copper color too. I might spray out some test patches tomorrow and see what the silicone looks like and how it sprays.
