My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

So, today I have been sanding more under the dash, but not done yet. I will go to Harbor Freight and see if I can find some disks I can use on my drill or Dremel to clean it up even better.

After the sanding I squirted water a little carefully in to the two oval holes under the hood (where the rubber plugs sits). No water in the car. (The vent and heater box is out and in the garage so just two open holes up there). Then I closed the hood, and adjusted the spray gun to like rain, and let it "rain" through the louvres between the windshield and the hood. It ended up being a veary heavy rain, and I let it go for a long time. No water in the car. Dry as when it left Detroit. So, I was pleased with that. If I now can find a degreaser cleaner I can spray in there, let sit for a little and then flush it out. That would be sweet. I had one in Norway called Lensitil, but I don't what would be an equivalent to that here. It worked best on a dry surface. Or maybe the correct would be to say that it worked best if the surface had not been sprayed with water first. Then, after sitting like 15 minutes or so, it could be flushed off with water. And the warmer the water the better. If it needs to be repeated, it is best to let the water evaporate before spraying it on again. It was solvent based.

Anyway, I am so pleased that no water came into the car. I guess I must have gotten all the soil out so nothing came over the edge of the pipe in the cowl.
