jmandcb769 10 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Made a lot of progress the last few weeks. Ordered more SPI Epoxy and two gallons of Turbo 2k. CJ's had a 20% discount on their Lizard skin combo kit so I bought 8 gallons for the interior. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmandcb769 10 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Promised I'd send you guys a pic of the motor. Tru track black anodized serpentine from Billet Specialties. Kasse dynos his motors with serpentines attached so you get a true HP rating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmandcb769 10 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Finally prepped the car Sunday for a full coat of Epoxy. As I mentioned earlier the car was alkaline dipped and thoroughly rinsed but that was weeks ago. Plans failed to immediately epoxy after the stripping so I applied a coat of phosphoric acid which kept from flash rusting. Long story short the car was reapplied with Phosphoric acid to reactivate and while still wet steam washed with 200 degree water. Soap and water with a red scuff pad followed by 5 gallons of purple power and several washes. This process stripped all the remaining alkaline and Phosphoric acid out of the car. Once dried it was air blown and sun dried for a couple hours. I live in Arizona and that weekend was sunny and 80 degrees and no humidity so I couldn't of asked for better weather. The orange yellow coating is not flash rust but iron telling you its as clean as its going to get. No white residue of the acid was in sight telling me it was ready for 80 grit DA sand. SPI Wax and grease remover followed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmandcb769 10 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 One more. The transmission tunnel was cut by the previous owner. I'll have to cut more to fit the T56 once its on a rolling chassis. All 100% original floor pans. There was some pinholes on the passenger but its not worth replacing as its still a very solid pan. Thin coat of evercoat metal to metal comes in very handy for those spots Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
