Cool I'll get with you when things settle. I'll need some wall art for this camper. Kind of depressing with blank walls. I think tomorrow I'm gonna move it to my property and run the generator to power it.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

What surprised me most is the quality of the polymer sheet. It melts and fuses with the fabric and the colors become baked into the film. Based on reviews of this stuff, it is very durable for multiple washing’s over several years. One person had washed the shirt over 30 times and the iron-on was still good even though the shirt was fading.

So you just print it and then iron it?
Ddaddy
Just doing what I do
Yep. Print, wait at least 30 mins to fully dry and iron-on. It’s that easy.
You do need to use photo grade ink in the printer and be careful to heat it evenly with the iron during the process, but otherwise it’s pretty easy to do. Also know that the colors will be 20% darker after ironing, so the image needs to be adjusted accordingly.

It also matters which sheets you use. There is a huge difference between brands and some aren’t very good. I only use Avery dark fabric iron-on sheets. A bit more expensive, but worth every penny.

That's pretty slick. My 4-H group years ago tried iron on vinyls, mostly letters and numbers for our club that year. Didn't work very well, after a couple hours they starting peeling off. Course that was mid 90s .

These are very different from any like those that I have used in the past. Mostly those sucked like you said. This stuff is seriously high tech.

Sounds sweet. Whenever you get ready to do it, I'll take at least one.

I will keep that in mind...but in your current situation, I have a feeling you are going to need every penny you have.

Yep. I can do ones from this years calendar. I was thinking you guys might want them.
Lean burn had the dual pickup. I did many leanburnectomy’s when i worked at the dealership in the mid 90’s.
318 for my barracuda. Its pretty much together,chris identified the crank was from a poly, which had no balancer on the front,which i now have, but pulleys arent working out. Im hoping to find all my needed parts to sort it out.and thats how i found distributor.
Lean burn distributors didnt have the window for the vac can,this one has a block off plate. Factory made.

Maybe I should start a group PM and ask who is interested?
Ah yes. I presume the tag's gone. Maybe in the morning @halifaxhops will have an idea

Better post for him fresh in the morning, he doesn’t back read.
Mp distributors dont interest him at all. At least thats the impression i got last weekend...was hoping for a few pointers.
Of course,me and all my wisdom just tore it down. I know what everything does, but not sure what to pay attention to. I figured it out.but i wont be running it for many months. Just wanted to get it on the block to plug the hole.
