Monty,

 I knew about this.

 

 

 Why am I mad? I spent all those years sanding, grinding and

 otherwise

 

 working WAYYYYY too hard. WHY didn't somebody clue me in? WHY

 was this

 never

 mentioned in any of those damn hot rod books I wasted so much

 

 money on?

 

 

 I just wanted to get your hackles up! Wow. ;-)

 

 

 FYI, the source of power can be one of those old power supplies out

 of a computer.  Voltage is lower thus the process is slower and you

 have to jumper the motherboard connector.  Another interesting

 thing I found out.  If your source is one of those new fangled

 computer controlled battery chargers it won't work. The computer

 thinks it is a short (or that is what I thought it thought ;-) )and

 refuses to charge.  I fooled mine by hooking the charger to an old

 "dead" battery and using my jumper cables to the the object bucket.

 I derusted a gas tank by enclosing the sacrificial iron in a pvc

 pipe with holes and hooking the negative lead to the tank.  I found

 that it was easier to find the soda ash in the pool section at the

 Local box store (Lowes).

 

 Keep fingers out of the bucket before the power is turned off. Keep

 out of reach of children!
