Re: Restoring Rusty
ok so feet shoulders width apart, relax your grip, make sure you don't get tangled in the air hose (joking) and here we go with Coat Numero Uno... for those of you joining us from Latin America
FYI: depending on the surface area, weather conditions, gravitational pull, etc... you may find that one coat = one can of material, which is what this is turning out to be see you in 30 minutes... |

Re: Restoring Rusty
As Cordless's goes I would not use anything but Makita. I had one that I used at work dropped it off hoists, cars, into drain pans totally soaking it in ATF etc. and it never gave up. The only reason I retired it was batteries were dying and replacements were hard to find and expensive.

Re: Restoring Rusty
fifth and final coat, this is the second semi flat finish coat to get the shine toned down a bit
I hope its flattening it out, took the pic while still wet so it should get even flatter |

Re: Restoring Rusty
welcome back to the College of Truck Knowledge aka CTK
heard a bit of a valve lifter / rocker arm / valve chatter so decided to take a deeper dive ol' school style - always wanted to see the oiling action of the push rods in real time, so it was time to fabricate some custom cardboard splash shields, ... [10 seconds later] done at first (using a long breaker bar against my ear) I thought it was one of the 8th cylinder valves but then I couldn't tell where it was coming from so decided to play doctor |

Re: Restoring Rusty - Removing the Hood
next thing you know I got the hood off
so much nicer working on the truck with the hood off, you have light, you have access, if I ever invent anything it will be a break away hood, LOL the wood is there to server as a windshield bumper in case my son and I decided to slide the hood through the windshield, but it went well NOTE TO SELF: Hood removal not a one man job! |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Nice to see that my hood isn't the only one with "patina".

Re: Restoring Rusty - Rusty Hood
ok, so here is the hood after the first rust treatment, looks like a missed a few spots, oh well that's expected on the first pass, this took about an hour, not bad at all
I think two more washes and we'll be able to eat off of it |

Re: Restoring Rusty
That's pretty amazing with the hood. Did you use CLR? It looks dang good.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Greg, the new fender looks great for a driver. The hood cleanup is amazing. Are you going to do some paint on it as well?
And I'd agree that the hood is a two man job.
