Part Prep

Up Part Prep 2

November 18th

This page shows some of the work I'm doing to prep my parts.  I am stripping each component down to its simplest form then soaking it in degreaser.  Followed by polishing with an air grinder and wire brush wheel, followed by scrubbing with a Brillo pad, then sanding, then priming.  Eventually I will take all the primed parts and paint them gloss black.  It is my intention to make this car as rust proof as possible.  At the rate I'm getting parts cleaned Ill be done in roughly 40 years.

I've been pretty busy all this week, and when I wasn't busy I was lazy, so I didn't get much done.  This morning the shop doing the frame work called and told me it was ready.  I spent the morning doing some shopping and retrieving the frame. Then this afternoon I finally got some more work done.  Cleaned some more parts and started cleaning the garage up a little.  I also picked up most of the parts that won't be going back on the car.

These are the pictures of my frame once I got it back this morning.  There are a few problems I need to take it back for but they are very minor.  I need them to weld on a pair of body mounts on the drivers side.  Also I need a reinforcing square welded on the drivers outer trailing arm bolt hole.
