Hello everyone! I'm another car enthusiast living in California. I currently have 2 project cars, a 1964 Dodge Dart and a 1981 Datsun 280ZX. I have been wanting/trying to setup a home foundry for a couple years so that I can try to cast replica/replacement parts for my cars. I have gotten as far as buying an old air compressor tank and cutting it open to become my foundry furnace but I haven't started lining it with refractory materials. I also attempted to build my first naturally aspirated propane fuel burner which so far isn't working correctly. I plan to make a separate post about my burner so that the good folks here can (hopefully) help me troubleshoot my design. Thank you all for allowing me to join the community! -MadMechanic
