I was bummed out about the power coating part. Some companies only care about money first and costumer satisfaction dead last. Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@bobmiller7426]

Sorry you went through all that. It’s kinda scary out there with companies that don’t live up to expectations. Thanks for letting us in on the ups and downs of a build. 👍

[@Daniel-nr6iw]

I admire your ability to maintain your self control and i can understand you not wanting to throw them under the bus. But thats exactly what they did to you. You're a far better person than i could ever be.

[@klwthe3rd]

Honestly, i didn't see that power coating disaster coming. Wow. I could feel Faye's sadness and frustration through the damn computer screen. I almost wanted to start crying because this project is sooo important to her and they treated her parts like they were not important at all. Whoever owns that company deserves to go out of business. There is NO excuse for putting a new employee on ANY job period, let alone one that is wicked important.

I feel your pain .I went to Harbor freight and bought one of their powder coating kits . I practice on several scrap pieces and found that if yow preheated the material first and make sure it’s thoroughly cleaned. It works really well.

Hey Faye Hadley I understand being ticked off at a powder coater! I had this happened to me 25yrs ago. But you can over come this! I had a friend wet sand everything up to 1500 sandpaper! You can smooth it and get out those nubs. If not sand blast it off and do it again. There is a company in Texas called dustless blasting can get everything clean and not damage the parts. But try sanding it first 😊

You would think that a company would fall all over themselves when a high end customer as yourself walked in their door. That now would be the time for the best product they can deliver be returned to you. If it would have made you happy you would have let everyone know that. But instead you held your self back from throwing them under the bus to the wide audience that you have. Keep up with great work your videos help me in keeping my two Tacomas rolling.

[@FayeHadley]

Thank you. And heck yes, Tacomas!! I am not sure they knew anything about me, but that shouldn't really matter. If I told them what my expectations were, they could have mentioned at the beginning that they were a production shop and I would have been cool with that. You're right though - if they had done a stellar job, I would have sang their praises to the high hills!! It would have been great advertising for them :))

It's all looking great, Faye! Black and gold. The colour of my favourite hockey team! AN fittings are the best thing since sliced bread. And I'm sorry about the shitty powder coating. I got screwed on upholstery, so I know what it's like to be disappointed after along wait. And it really is the most difficult thing to strip off. I use rolloc disks and then sandblast it, but that scratches the hell out of everything and then good luck getting all the grit out. At least you found a creative solution! Keep up the great work!

[@W0O0G]

Fuel pulsation damper dampens the fuel pressure oscillations caused by the injectors opening and closing on a long fuel rail, not the the fuel pump, you can check this out for yourself once your up and running by blanking the damper port and logging fuel pressure, then connecting the damper back up, at certain rpms you’ll get resonance inside the rail, which is what drive the oscillations. As a side not, having rubber fuel lines on the pressure side does wonders for damping the oscillations as the entire fuel line acts as an accumulator (which is what the damper is). Happy building!

[@FunWithCars716]

Good stuff Faye as always! 👍

You should really have Danny teach you to weld. Its a skill that will serve you well on any project as a DIY person. Plus if you shoot some vids people can learn along with you.

[@benjamincresswell3713]

My dear Faye, Yes, I enjoyed your video. I am a tech head and I do enjoy the technical points you make but I also adore you as the star of the video. So I feel your pain too. I am so so so sorry they took 6wks of your time and probably another 6wks more work to correct everyting. When they said they'd rip up the check, that was your reality check. The money was all that mattered to them. Communication may have been at fault, however; don't they know who you are? I'm more than certain you explained the circumstances, but that phrase was what they were all about. "Make The Sale" we'll take care of the fallout later. Ouch! Please try to stay positive and keep on it. I want to see the whole system work and the numbers and of course the final results. Always yours. ben/ michigan

[@ClimptonDiddlehopper]

That dampener is just bolt threads. I see a lot of guys (people in general I'm old) take Teflon to the shortest matching thread bolt. I've seen a few use a copper seal for banjo fitting and a few use a fuel safe o ring. If you have a good aluminum welder you could weld it closed.

[@Chris_Adams1]

Happened to me also. Chrome shop claimed 150 years of experience. Gave them my parts to chrome. Time Passes. I thought i wasn’t getting my parts back. Finally they called 2.5 months later and my parts were ready. I got the parts back and they skipped some steps as my parts were not even a half a** good chrome job. They did not clean the grime and chromed over it and they didn’t know how to hang one part, so they drilled a hole into it. “You didn’t think about calling me?” They kept my $$$ and then they went out of business. Issues of “self medicating”. If you can learn and do it yourself; you are better off. There is an E company out there can’t remember their name that helps many people with that stuff. Live and learn.

Thank you, Johnny. I really didn't think it would do any good to put them on blast - they are a local shop, and so many of my viewers would never go there just because they are not local so it doesn't make sense to trash talk them, just like the machine shop that messed up my cylinder head, and the painter who got overspray all over the interior of my car.

I used to work in a powder coating factory. I'm so sorry. I can come up with multiple ways to hang that last part, but since I believe it takes crush washers, I would just tape over both sides, hammer lightly around the tape to cut it at the face edges, then poke a wire through the tape and hang it by the wire. This isn't complicated and missing plugs on those small bolt holes is also unacceptable. Anyways, excited for more 7M episodes as always!

The engine looks mint btw, despite the "professional" powder coating. Your hard work does not go unnoticed.
