What did they charge for that? I have learned a lot about humidity in the south since moving to TN. I have 10 rusty 340's and a car body I want to strip. Is that the place in NC?
If I could read I would have seen location on the video.

Rod, he charged me $150 to go in a strip tank for the paint and de-rust tank for the rust. Most cars can sit for 2 weeks with no flash rust, blocks will rust sooner due to their heavy iron content I assume.

So, after pouring the first side of the block yesterday we definitely learned a couple things. We poured the second side today and it was a breeze. Tall funnels... No good. Make sure the consistency will lend itself to a nice flow. And fill a little at a time, as you can go back and fourth a few times for a perfect fill. Balancing is the next thing we're learning to do, so today we weighed everything, setup bob weights then set everything up in the balancer. I can't believe the education we've recieved so far.
