Re: 1968 C40 to K40 pickup project BlueMule

So, I picked up another 5 gallons of EvapoRust, and a longer plastic container.
The container is about 39 inches long x 16 inches wide.
I didnt want to fill the whole thing, so I built myself a cardboard box to fit inside the container, with just enough room to fit over the door end that I wanted to soak.
I lined it with a giant garbage bag to contain the liquid, and supported the cardboard with wood to keep the cardboard wall in place.
The first 2 pictures are of the hinge edge of the door sitting in my makeshift dipping tank.

With this setup, I was able to get the door about 6 to 7 inches deep in the EvapoRust.
That was enough to cover the entire inner support structure.
You can see the results below from the next day.
After this, I turned the door 90 degrees and put the bottom edge in the liquid for 24 hours as well.
The last pic is the stretch section of the door after a couple of soakings of EvapoRust, a little wire wheeling done on the flat sections, and a little rust inhibiting primer.
