Welcome...cool videos! Awesome the car was saved, it looked really bad in the brush, but cleaned up nice and it runs! Great project and pretty complete, looks way better with all the black paint off the firewall. How did you get the black paint off, pressure washer? The work you are doing on that look fun....and yes it’s satisfying watching the pressure washing!
Thank you! I pressure washed the black paint after scrubbing it with Dawn. That did nothing. I couldn’t stand to look at it so I rinsed it down, and while it was still wet I sprayed aircraft coating remover from Advance on it lightly.
I let that set for 5 minutes and hit it with the pressure washer, which is just a small,cheap electric job. It came off pretty quickly then and didn’t further damage the original paint. After painting the engine I soaked everything in WD-40 to do it’s thing and, make it shiny!
