67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Figured i would start on the cowl, and scrape the windshield opening out. Laquer thinner on a steel wire brush gets all the black goopy sealant out, follow with a clean paper towel with laquer thinner on it and viola, clean and ready some corrosion grinding and primer.
I did go and buy some naval jelly at walmart to try on the surface rust on the cowl. Wife looked at me funny when i mentioned i needed that. I told her you dont want to put this **** in your belly button lol. Anyways i covered it with plastic and it worked very similar to the evaporust turning the oxide black under the plastic, along with a periodic scraping and reapplication. Being it seems to be better on horizontal flat surfaces and is a bit cheaper price wise i will be using naval jelly on the roof, cowl, and decklid.
As an aside, we got a Northern Tool in our town. Like a higher quality China freight, they had a nice sandblaster setup w a pipe you stick in a bucket of sand. I will prob pick this up along with a sandblaster hood. This will be ideal for doing the engine compartment.
