"Resto Resumes II" a BBFCM "What I Did This Summer" series thread

[65stanger]

Last week I posted a thread on re-starting resto / refurbishing of parts, unfortunately that was all lost in the "Great Stangnet Crash of '05"!
Mostly it was how I had cleaned, degreased and metal-prepped parts in preparation for POR15-ing them......of course I had these pics....:

Well the parts have been rinsed and POR15-ing is commencing.......pics to follow later!

First Batch Done.....

I've got my spindles, caliper brackets and backing plates POR15'ed. Once they've dried in a day or two, I will reassemble them and start on the next batch of parts.....(battery tray, outer bumper brackets and hood latch base)
And as promised, more pics....:
pre-POR rinse......

POR'ed parts......

Hopefully, in a few weeks I'll be able to start working outside and start the "surgery" on "sally's" front clip and replace the rusted frame sections.......

..plan is once that is done I'm going to strip the entire clip, clean, prep and POR15 prior to starting reassembly............I'd like to have most of that work done before the end of June!

hehe. its raining sidways right now. I should of started mine when the weather was good.

I think I am going to use something other than por-15 when I redo my 67. It peeled off the bottom. I might try eastwood or corrales

Really? Did you prep the metal per their directions?
I haven't had any problems with anything I've POR15'd yet.

Looks great! The POR-15 is holding up great on my 72. But I used up the can of Eastwoods rust converter and sealer that I had on the shelf for my 65 floor pans after I fabricated a patch. Man, I have a lot of tech updates to do streatching all the way back to interior upholstery!

Sorry, but we thought you might've been washed away by the Gutter Wave after The Crash the other day!
