Treating surface rust? What method did you use to strip the paint? Lacquer is a pita... gets real gummy. Car is looking good.... wish my '66 vert was in half as good of condition as this one! Rust sucks! I'd like to stop down some time for a short visit to check this thing out.
Walt anytime drop by ! Air craft stripper first then wash of with Thinner , then Da or Mud hug off with 8 in sander and 80 grit . The towel is soaked with Muricac Acid and scrubbed with Scotch bride . It eat up must of the rust . The Rust pits were extremely deep ! I will use DuPont metal prep to finish the roof this works very well also .
All 35 pieces of stainless ready for final polishing...got a few of them done this afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow will yield completion.
Yeah well Nick has been going at this full throttle. Progress is going to slow down a bit as Nick has a few "paying" jobs coming in. That is actually a good thing as it will give me some time to catch up to him. I am cleaning/blasting/painting a bunch of pieces and sub-assemblies and do not want to hold him up. Right now I am working on all the bolts/clips that hold the brake/fuel lines. It's a bit** blasting such small parts, but I have them and they need to get done. The idea was for me to do as much as I can, so Nick could run with the ball. Again, this is only working because we had so many finished pieces to start with. If we had to source everything it would take forever, especially because it's a 69 and not a 70-72. I have also been "raiding" my personal stash of Buick parts. It appears I had saved just enough of the specialty pieces to do this car. Duane
