67PT,
The turbos are going to mount, with a short reducer and flange, right on the end if the headers. They'll be going through the hood.

Diesel,
I'm not recommending anyone try this. The acid is a couple tubs of sulfamic acid tile cleaner in five gallons of water. I made an electrode basket with 7 gas welding rods I had bought in a pinch from tractor supply. They don't work well for tig so I sacrificed them to this. The electrodes ran down the sides of the bucket and across the bottom. They were welded in the center. Don't store them in the acid. On the sixth day they were gone. I use a battery charger plugged into a powerstat transformer. Electrodes negative, work positive. I adjust the powerstat to limit the current to the 50 amp max of my charger. The voltage required depends on the surface area of the part and the concentration of the solution. It won't remove grinding or rough sanding inperfections, so the part needs to be ready for buffing before you do this. It just saves a lot of time buffing.

67SS,
The roadster is what almost everyone else uses for their first hot rod. It's a 23 Model T Roadster. Or a t-bucket. The $250 fiberglass body was all I could afford at the time. I started it six years ago and would stop when I convinced myself didn't have the tools I needed to keep working. I started it with a Handler 135 and a jigsaw. I now have way more money in tools than it. It's not for sale, but everything has a price.

Thanks guys,
Kevin
