Scampin!!!!!!
I’m taking the back half of the car down to bare metal. With a heat gun. Spackle knife and wire wheel. It’s been a lot of hours and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but the lift makes life a little bit easier. Rear is down to bare metal. Leaf springs have been taken apart and down to bare metal. I’m curious as to what you guys have used to coat the metal/undercarriage coatings. I’d like to get something to protect it but something with a nice finish. I don’t have an air compressor so keep that in mind I can’t mix and shoot. Also the rear brakes I threw whatever I had around to make them work. The drums I was using were sbp but I drilled them out for lbp ( I know I know not the right way of doing things) I have what looks like 11” backing plates and would like to get the correct lbp drum setup. Can anyone maybe help me out ? Also I found this today when taking everything down to bare metal after I pulled the valence. The rear “cross rail” is shot. Being a northeast car that’s 50 years old things just go. I never fixed it the first time. But it needs to be supported since the leaf spring box ties into it. Has anyone replaced it ?
