72 duster Build progress
I finally got a go wing spoiler for my duster!!!!!
(a member here had one he was not using and worked out a really awesome partial trade deal with me on it)
and another member had a brand new set of mounting brackets for the spoiler that go on the under side of the trunk lid (I am guessing they will arrive mid this week) then I can drill my holes and test fit the spoiler.
the spoiler needs to be sanded and repainted but thats not a big deal......and all the hardware had surface rust on it (some screw heads were rounded off and froze in place and some bolt heads were busted clean off) so once I drilled out all the broken screws and bolts and dinked around with getting them removed (which I successfully managed to do lol) I then took all the rusted hardware and put it in a bucket of muratic acid for about 20 minutes.....and when I removed the parts they all looked like new!.
then I rinsed and dried it all, primed them,painted them and clear coated them so they wont rust up again.
(anyone who has rusty bolts,brackets,tools or whatever and you do not have access to a sand blaster....I highly suggest going to walmart or somewhere to the swimming pool or chemical (paint stripping,varnish and so on) section and getting a $5.00 gallon of muratic acid. The stuff works amazing on rusted parts! and cleans them up FAST and will slightly etch the metal at the same time to make for a good surface for painting.....I mix it about 70/30 with water and it does a great job (make sure to wear gloves and a face mask though because the stuff is nasty smelling and will burn if it gets on you.
I think i forgot to take before pictures and I have yet to take any after pictures but Ill post pictures soon.
