Re: Restoring Rusty
I used both before and talked to the POR15 support staff about this and both products do weird things, the gloss stuff is dull in places and the semi gloss shines in places, so far no rhyme or reason, though as with anything I do, the first thing I do is blame myself

Re: Restoring Rusty
after soaking the hinges in a large toperwear bin and some diluted muriatic acid with water for a couple days, I dried them off and washed them off with denatured alcohol, then rattle canned them flat black

Re: Restoring Rusty
Every time I pull something off to work on the truck and start knocking the rust and grime off of it I think, "What would Gregski do?".....and then I give up after cleaning for a second or two...ha ha. I am impressed with your attention to detail.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Greg, get your buckets mineral spirits and muriatic acid, load up Rusty, head up the I-5, over to I-80, up Hwy 93 and over to I-84....Rusty's cousin, Greasy, needs some love.
Great job on the hinges.

Trust me I want instant results too, I am a lot of things but a patient man I am not. I also have a tough time focusing trust me, I want to do 7 things at once all the time, but I say Rusty teach me patience. LOL In this case I took the hood off and said this will be it, I will not mess with anything else. Then I said ok, one hinge comes off cause I have to take the fender off anyway. Then I said shoot I can't do one hinge and leave his brother dirty and rusty, that's in human. In the end the only thing I did not remove was the hood latch hookie thingie in the front cause those bolt heads were not quite 1/2 inch type but some star looking thingies so I said enuff this stays on, LOL |

Re: Restoring Rusty
The problem I have is I will start on one thing and then while unbolting this or that I think well I might as well do this while I am here.....prioritizing......I fail at.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hah!!! I am a lot closer. Just hop on the 80 south to 37 west then 101 north. Mine is neither rusty or greasy. But with your attention to detail, my truck and me would enjoy it immensely.

On the other hand I replace the intake gasket one month and put it all back together. Then six months later I go back in and now replace the lifters. Now I removed and put the intake back on twice. I pretend I am a mechanic and now I worked on two trucks that came in one for intake manifold gasket leak the other for a stuck lifter. So now I got twice the experience. I had to drop the dizzy in twice and the first time I missed it by a tooth the second time I got it right. The second time I knew how the throttle linkage went back on without refering to old pictures, and now I know the bolt sequence by heart. It is a bit of a silly game I play with my mind, but you have to figure out a way to prioritize to trick yourself if you have to. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
What's your mixture ratio on the muriatic acid bath?

Re: Restoring Rusty
first be very careful wear a respirator and eye protection and heavy rubber gloves
I use 100% if it will cover the entire piece, otherwise for bigger pieces I just use a garden hose and keep poring water in the container until the entire piece is submerged, it is not an exact science I put a lid on what ever plastic container I am using, and I do it outside not indoors at 100% I dip for a couple hours, when I add water it can be in there over night or for a couple days, take the metal out from time to time to check on it to see if it is done if all the rust is gone, maybe hose it off check it and put it back in |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Greg, I like the results you're getting with the acid bath, but my question is what do you do to dispose of the leftover acid/water mix? That's the part about chemical treatments that I don't like. Great looking hinges!

Re: Restoring Rusty
I was hoping this would work for me since the bushing puller I had would not fit ended up finding a long bolt and hammered and twisted it into the bushing and slid my hammer slider on to it and yanked it out

Re: Restoring Rusty
as if you need telling, the only thing worse than that Self Etching primer from Harbor Freight is their "Filler" primer and I use that term loosely, it covers horribly, well unless you are into painting tigers or zebras, or tigers chasing zebras, well you get the idea - stay away from it if possible
so I bondoed the rust holes (not proud of that) sanded it down and shot it with build / filler primer in hopes of block sanding the hood to get it ready for paint this weekend |

Re: Restoring Rusty
what else is going on in Camp Rusty?
well I fingered out why my truck ran real bad under acceleration although it idled perfectly after this most recent intake manifold gasket replacement, I swapped the #5 and #7 plug wires, thank you very much, so now it runs good I still have that pesky rear wheel locking up on me although I replaced both rear wheel cylinders, so this weekend I think I am putting on new shoes and either turning the drums or putting on new ones then I think I need to replace the square bearings in my power steering pump, and clean that area of the engine bay a little bit (ok a lot) so I can see what if anything leaks from there and just went in the garage and checked on the oil leak from todays test drives and yup there's one, the size of my hand, nice, awesome, progress = zero so The Greg is in a bit of a funk, nothing a glass of white wine can't cure, [ahem] I mean a cold one, a beer people, a beer |
