Cleaning and Painting Parts

July 2010,

A commitment to a full restoration means  that every part that is not being replaced must be cleaned and painted. This doesn't seem like such a big deal until you start looking at all those parts and realize that they are covered with 37 years of road dirt, grease, and tar , not mention all the undercoating gunk the factory / dealer applied.
Here are a few pics of parts that need to be be removed, cleaned, prepped, and painted.



Oh well, nothing is going to get done by just looking...time for wire brushes, solvent, and elbow grease !  Again, the 6-Pack folks have a vast amount of experience on what works and what tools will make the cleaning easier...I'll heed their advice !!
