Couple new things happening around here...tired of running compressor/sandblast cabinet, trying out a chemical to remove rust. Will let you know of the results.

Also picked up a trans pan/with cooling tubes. I want to put a gauge on it, so I was going to use a engine temp. sensor and mount a gauge in my dash where my vacuum gauge is now...trans. temp. is more important than vacuum to me at this point

I bead blasted my booster bracket. Looks great. Sent it to powder coat to get black magic on it.. Looks like low gloss but smooth

I'm sure it does look good, but I'm thinking low buck, for the guys that don't have blasting cabinets like me. Also will be trying p/c systems for the shadetree guys

Do the electrolysis on that rusty part..

Get a plastic bucket, baking soda, water, piece of steel (rod or plate) and a battery charger. Mix the soda and water together submerging the part, hook the negative line to the part and the positive line onto the steel rod outside the water (but the rod entering the water) and put on a low charge overnight... MAGIC! and cheaper than chemicals..

**jaros44sr** · 04-01-2009, 12:28 PM

Sure, now ya say somethin'

I'll check it out, what's the ratio of chemicals

Why are you yellin' at me

Critter · 04-02-2009, 12:41 AM

I guess if something hangs around for 3 YEARS it has to hit 1000

MSGross, resize your pics., you're screwing up my right hand border (800X600)...lol

OK, the chemical worked great no more rust, but where it was heavily painted (I scrapped off the paint) there was rust underneath. The finish of the metal was smooth, once the rust was removed. Weird, I would have thought the metal would've been all pitted. So now it's back in the chemical bath. Seems like this process will free me up, as I can work on the truck instead of standing in front of the sandblasting cabinet( cost over 1000 with vacuum unit) So, this chemical method is really low tech, low buck

Looks good.....how are your injuries?

It had gotten rusty cause I drained the system and let it sit... so my little experiment was just that, an experiment.. It had a lot of loose paint on it and such so I figured for $30 i'd just buy another one! But the internal rust had all turned black and stuck to the steel plate so I know it did something!

you need a monitor larger than 12" I guess! Does yours look like this?

msgross · 04-02-2009, 09:06 AM

That chemical bath worked pretty well, can you reuse the solution?

I would suggest that you don't use that coffee cup though!

**jaros44sr** · 04-02-2009, 10:30 AM

I don't know what that picture tube looking thing is, but the thing that shows me words that I type is 21" flat panel hp. Where'd ya get that pic., was it in your office at the Army depot

Yeah, the coffee cup is just for paint stripper. Stuff I use is very strong and eats just about any container I use, except ceramics

Solution will cover up to 20 sq. ft., reuseable, no smell, and can be put down the drain

**jaros44sr** · 04-03-2009, 06:56 AM

I think I found a new way(for me) to clean, derust, and paint parts with zero time and effort. Time spent was in the painting process, which I would've done anyway. I didn't use a high build primer, which would have removed the pits, but I did use a etching primer. So, for me, I will be saving my compressor for my air tools

Keep in mind that this build is not for show, just a clean daily driver. That is why I don't put the time and effort into making parts purdy, just no rust!

Everything is assembled with anti-seize, I won't be around to take it apart, but the next owner will thank me

Chevyman63 · 04-03-2009, 07:12 AM

Looks good to me.

Just don't hurt yourself any more...you've got some fishin to do!

Just gotta get my sh!t in one bag, another trip w/o the Jimmy. Can't imagine how many times I've said that...

Anything on the horizon for your project. How's that boy of yours doin'

No, you just have to be creative with the cash these things will generate...I used to work on all the sports cars in my area to get the cash to build, and maintain my own. Back then you could buy english sports cars for a 100.00, maybe less!

This was before the internet, I would take them apart, keeping the best parts and junking the rest. I had 10 garages, my basement and 2 backyards filled. Plus the one in the workshop. Deal was wifey gets the paycheck from the factory, I get the profits from my small shop. BTW, I built the workshop for 600.00. A pick, a shovel, and a
wheelbarrow and 1 summers labor

Of course if she needed more money, or Christmas would roll around, I would give up more of the profits. My boys were always hanging around the shop, gave them a heads up on the other kids with pneumatics, electricity and all things mechanical...they turned into mechanical engineers, go figure
