Re: Today is step one
That jack stand would have been nice. I am going to make sure I get the frame from the body shop to put in all of the mechanicals before the body goes back on. It seems to make more sense. With that said, what is the best way of cleaning off the transmission, tranx case and engine to get ready for paint?
What are some of my options? |

Re: Today is step one
That is a very difficult question to answer. The process is easy, the disposal of the crap is hard. A screw driver and putty knife will get rid of the bulk of the big stuff, can be swept up and put in the trash (my landfill doesn't mind!) Yours may. Then gunk and high pressure wash, make sure all holes are sealed up, but you end up with alot of brown water, and that is the stuff that is enviromentally difficult to get rid of

Re: Today is step one
Oven cleaner goes a long way in getting the gunk including paint off your hard parts. Spray it on, let it sit for a bit then pressure wash, be sure not to inhale or get it in your eyes. Nice progress.
