240dkw Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share #51 Posted March 31, 2013 When I was sanding the engine bay what I thought was rock chips that had rusted turned out to be a lot of rust hiding under a repaint. So had to strip it all and treat the surface rust. The first two are what the rust looked like, the next two are after all of the stripping and then after the first coat of etching primer. Some day this will all come to a end. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/36693-progress-on-rust-repairs/?page=5#findComment-419272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
240dkw Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share #52 Posted April 12, 2013 Finished the back end, looks like it will be going to the painters in a couple of weeks. Had to see what putting something back on the car felt like. I am going to spend the next while putting the suspension back on and letting the old girl stand on her own feet.

240260280z Posted April 22, 2013 Share #55 Posted April 22, 2013 Looks mighty purdy! You are now on the other side of the curve... enjoy it, assembly goes by quickly.ps Don't forget the wee lil' spring that pulls the brake cable back. I never noticed it until looking at pics when reassembling.

240dkw Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share #56 Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks, Blue. I would have missed that. Now to find that wee lil' spring. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/36693-progress-on-rust-repairs/?page=5#findComment-421244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280z Posted April 22, 2013 Share #57 Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Glad to help.You may wish to consider using a foam seal or sealant where the parking brake assembly's plate ( the lever part, not the cable junction) bolts to the tunnel. I did it to keep fumes and hot air out of the cab.

e-tek Posted April 23, 2013 Share #58 Posted April 23, 2013 We sure are close on our builds! Ironic too since your turn-around triggered mine - in a matter of speaking. You are definitely doing it right - like treating that rust instead of just painting over it. And is that a skid plate on the front? I've never seen one of those.

240dkw Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share #59 Posted April 23, 2013 Yes we might be able to met at the border this summer. It is a skid pan, I pulled it off a car at a auto wreckers in of all places Prince Albert, picked up a new working complete antenna from the same car.

240dkw Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share #60 Posted April 25, 2013 More stuff back on, the flash sure shows the dust on everything. And all most ready to drop it down on its feet.
