You can't see real good but here is a pic of how it looks after
cleaning.

The leads are clean but they're black.
And here is why you don't mix the leads:

This was a clean chunk of black oxide coated steel.
And into the plating solution (vinegar.)

Notice the leads are opposite the cleaning process.
I moved my rig outside so I can leave it running when I'm not
around. So hopefully plating will be done by the time I get back
from the Korean BBQ...

You had to clean all the black sht off before you could plate it
right? How'd you do clean it? Chemical bath or elbow grease? Fck
I wanted to go to that BBQ.

The black isn't a coating its just the color of the metal after
the electrolysis. I cleaned it with contact cleaner and my air
nozzle before I started the plating.

Ok so yeah. Something went wrong (I think I had the current
turned up to high during the plating process.) Well there are no
terminals left on the panel at all after it sat over night.
So plan B I guess. I picked up a couple 6 circuit universal
ones tonight. At least this way I get modern fuses.

I say bag the thing, 20 inch steel wheels, and a wood bed floor.
You could even mount a keg in the front of the bed for your air
tank. 4.8 or 5.3 ls swap with a 4l60e and you'd be set for
towing and reliability.
