[quote=""lawdogg""]Damn dude.

Can you fit a whole car in there?[/quote]

We did joke about fitting my dad's beater in there...a plymouth colt. I bet it would come close.

Holy electric bill, batman

two thoughts:

1) how's the insulation on that thing? old house + not of space down there = makes me worried

2) why ya gotta go and get this thing AFTER i've moved away and it'll be harder to get wheels powdercoated

Not only can you powder coat, but I bet you can make one hell of a rotisserie chicken in there.

Insulation is pretty good on it. According to the vendor it only gets about 110* on the outside. I did a quick trial run and it didn't get to the point of where I couldn't touch it with my hand so I believe that. If it becomes an issue we could probably put some flashing on the ceiling to help reflect some of the heat.

And I think this just means it's time for you to take a trip back up here.

that's pretty much the coolest easy bake i've ever seen.

A year ago I would have been impressed, but I've toured the Powder-X facilities now. You can park 2 3/S's in their ovens.

Still, an awesome step up. I'm still using an old oven too (except mine's from the 50's).

A buddy of mine has one that big, can slap a bike (motorcycle) frame and some extra parts in there at one time. His is set up for gas or electric, is yours the same?

[Monochrome]

Noice!

Caffy - That's the next step if this takes off but I'm sure that's gonna be a ways down the road.

Evil - Electric only, 220v.

I'm mainly doing this and starting to push to get away from the 3S platform (not leaving it all together). That along with a few other things should help me do that easily. Only hard part is the marketing. The 3S was easy to market since I had obvious ties, not so easy with this stuff and I'm finding that advertising is expensive. I might need to dump some of my savings into the company which I didn't really want to do.

You should try to score a contract with IPS or 3sx. Both work with other platforms, so you can use that as a jumping point into different makes. Just be sure your contract states that they must call it the "3sx/IPS/etc Maximal powedercoating" so you get your name out.

Eh, then they get a cut of the profits. I think I'd be better at least trying to market it myself for now. I'm not sure if that amount of stuff they can offer me is worth it.
