If I had the funds to buy a Rupes 21 I certainly would, a buddy of mine let me use his and I absolutely loved it. I did a car that had terrible oxidization on the hood with it, and it made short work of it, paired with just normal Meguiars compound. Being on a budget though, I'm most likely going to buy a Porter-Cable polisher. Can't really beat them for considering they're only around $130.

I agree, its a bit on the pricey side. I'm consider it as an investment as well as personal tool. If its something that you will make money with, I think it'll be worth it in the long run. I know of a few people interested, they want to see how mine comes out before investing in theirs, haha. I don't blame them, this is new to me but have had the desire for some time. Plus paying someone $1k + to do it was out of the question.

Completely understand. I'm trying to scrape up as much money as I can to see if I can afford one, since I do believe in you pay for what you get. If you end up getting it before I do please let me know how you feel about it.

I will say this. For what I paid for the PC one I will not complain. Had mine for about 7 years used at least 6x a year. Never had a problem. Use really good pads and works great. The next one I buy will be a better brand, but this one has to die first. One plus is you can also catch them on sale at Lowes sometimes for around $100

Glad to hear that your PC has lasted that long, makes me feel good since I highly doubt I'll be able to afford the Rupes 21. What pads do you use for compounding, and which ones for polishing?

Now that both my vehicles i own have decent paint i try to stay away from harsh compounds. i usually use light stuff. 3M brand chemicals have the cap match the color of the pad that should be used. But i like to see what chemical guys/detaliers domains have to offer. on the back of the pad it normally tells you what to use it for.

Swapped the emblems with the 2500HD version like the pickups get.

 

[Sarge]

Went from this:

...and two hours later to this:

It's a passenger side exhaust tip from a Pontiac G8 GT. I found a driver/passenger side set on Craigslist for $20 about two years ago and finally put one on my S10 not long before I sold it. This was necessary cuz the relocated battery was being cooked by the turn-down exhaust:

Fast forward to a few months ago: The same guy had another set of the tips on CL, so I bought those as well, again, for the passenger side tip. Not long after that I saw an ad for some leftover 3" mandrel-bent exhaust tubing from a Flowmaster kit. It's twin pipes with about 18" straight, then an over-the-axle arch, then another straight about 18". I couldn't pass up having all the mandrel bends I would ever need for small exhaust projects such as this for $20.

I had a short day at work today and wanted to knock out this little project. I started jacking up the rear around 3:20 and was headed inside for a shower around 5:20. The G8 tip had a 2.25" inlet, so I started by squashing a piece of the 3" tube into an oval 2.25" high:

Then I cut off the back of the tip to match the tube's opening size:

I don't see this as being a restriction:

After some careful mock-up, I was ready to pass the "Point of No Return" and I cut off the resonator just downstream of the hanger:

After more mock-up, minor trimming, etc., I welded the tube to the tip:

... and the whole thing to the factory tubing:

No pics, but I wire-brushed, cold-galvanized, and painted all the welds and new piping with semi-gloss black.


Pics with Tahoe back on the ground. My phone was having difficulties focusing because of the sunlight coming in through the westward door:

I'll polish them when I get around to washing the truck.

^^ Nice work on that exhaust. Looks good.

Thanks guys! Y'all probably saw the Jeep and cat pics a few minutes ago LOL. Photobucket was tripping balls and linking the wrong pics. It's fixed now.
