January 31, 201411 yr Author comment_440720 Finished off the brake rebuilds today, but I forgot to order the ball joints with my Black Dragon order, so I'm waiting on those from NAPA.... (I hate NAPA).... Time for a second application of Eastwood's Caliper Paint!

January 31, 201411 yr Author comment_440724 Glad to see you back at it.I've been REALLY busy in the shop, but haven't worked on the 240 after painting it. Took some time off my "real" job and finished the 40Ford, plus took a big bite out of the 68 Camaro. Just checking in on yours!

February 9, 201411 yr comment_441346 Looks great E- Tek, is that the Eastwood cad paint on those nuts and washers? I'll be passing through Saskatoon this May, bringing my car back from White Head.

February 10, 201411 yr Author comment_441379 Looks great E- Tek, is that the Eastwood cad paint on those nuts and washers? I'll be passing through Saskatoon this May, bringing my car back from White Head. Maybe I'll stop by to see your work in person!MarkNo, it's a gold shade I found that is close, but actually covers! Eastwood's Cad system is 3 paints plus a clear. I used it on a brake booster for a 74 Challenger and it turned out great, but it's picky work that take a while - and maybe a couple tries - to get right.If you're on your way through by all means, look me up, there's always lots going on in m shop.

February 10, 201411 yr Author comment_441380 As I am getting closer to bolting some items up to the car, I wanted to reverse the overspray on the undersides, so another coat of Rust Bullet was in order: then i pulled in all rear end suspension parts out of the storage shed and brought them into the shop. I tell ya - metal at minus 30C goes through the gloves - FAST! :ogre: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/33358-e-tek-racing-71-parts-car-resto/?&page=19#findComment-441380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 10, 201411 yr comment_441386 It's not so long ago I painted the parts of my suspension but the front end is allready showing surface rust on some parts due the weather conditions right now. It's a constant fight against the elements I tell ya... :knockedou Edited February 10, 201411 yr by bartsscooterservice Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/33358-e-tek-racing-71-parts-car-resto/?&page=19#findComment-441386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
