All of it is Business Class stuff. No fans, just built to last. I'm done using home/consumer class networking stuff. The Business stuff handles loads much better, and just lasts longer. They are quite a bit smaller than the 1U and 2U stuff I deal with at work.

The Wagner will throw the thick paint. I always water it down though.... about a cup of water in each bottle works out rather well. But yeah, it will throw the paint, and it does give the "bumpy" look. The thing it does though is spit a lot more. Seems like it doesn't control the thicker paint as well, if that makes any sense.

I wound up putting the Mustang in the Labor Day show today. On the way home it started backfiring on me. When I got home I could hear some valve train noise... so I took the drivers side VC off and found my rocker had come loose. It had a little metal in it valley of the head too... so I cleaned it all out, and put it back together and it's running like champ again. I did get a REALLY good pull out of it just before this happened, LOL. Got it into second, and it broke the tires loose like crazy!

It definitely freaked me out. Had I known what it was, I would have shut it down. I honestly thought I had busted a converter when it happened. I was running identical to how it ran when I busted a cat several years ago. My thoughts were... "who gives a crap, it's coming off soon".

I damn near swapped them out for stamped rockers the other day so I can put the rollers on the 351. Wish I would have now.

Nice pics, White, and I'm glad you didn't grenade anything before you're ready for the new motor to go in.

Hey, you guys were taking about some magical rust removal stuff a little while back. What was that stuff again?

Thanks!

I found this comparison video this AM. Spoiler: In these tests Evapo-Rust and Crud Cutter were the top performers for rust removal by immersion with Crud Cutter being the winner by just a narrow margin.

2100, I'm pretty sure you have gotten all the good out of those tires. I think they might have about the same amount of siping as my DC's. I was hitting deep puddles at highway speed yesterday and didnt have any trouble tracking so I guess it is enough to claim the siping works. lol
