p.s. I see you like blacked out cars. Maybe you know if its possible to make the shell look matt black? I posted a thread on the painting section asking about this with a pic of a 911 GT3 matt black but no answers yet. Seems like something that might be up your street! http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17756 |
No prob
And thanks! I like to use a flat tip, but have used the pointy one. It works, But it doesnt heat up the joints to fast, so soldering wires right to a speedo or something would end up jacked up. You can just take a dremel or file and make the tip flat though?

Im not sure where you buy your stuff. But that link has flat black paint. I have tried some flat black paint before (forget the brand, I think it was Tamiya?) And it looks like that 911.

You COULD, BUT wiring the car up cleaner wouldnt go so well lol, usually looks kind of funky. But it works. You could use some bullet plugs, or deans. Depends on what you want to use. I personally just plug in the iron and go that way, I just dont like having a bunch of connectors and all in my car, more things to go wrong. But you definitely can!

You could run those. Makes soldering a little easier if you dont like to. I have never used them, but my buddies have and they work pretty well
