    Prep & Ready as a rust remover... I said we would come back to the Prep & Ready product and discuss it's rust remover capabilities, or lack there of I should say. This product doesn't remove rust. It doesn't claim to remove rust, so we can't hold it against it. However I don't know about you...

    POR15 Rust Preventive Paint Finally step three. This is where we make things black. I decided to apply this with a brush because it is simple, you don't have to mask things off, just make sure you have a drop cloth below the area you are painting. A quart of this stuff costs $45 bucks, it is...

    My Assistant aka the One Bolt Specialist, OBS My mom came by to see how I was doing and asked if she could help. Sure I responded, calling her bluff. Well low and behold she was serious. So I put her to work. It was strange to have someone around who actually knows less than you. Being the...

    Fuel Pump The fuel pump was next. Why show you all this? Well because you get to see what the internals of a 40 year old engine look like. Sometimes you can't judge a book by it's cover. Take this fuel pump for example. From the outside it looks like dog sheet, but it actually works fine, it...

    Alternator Off So I pretty much decided I am going to replace this tired ol' rusty 289 with my tired ol' non rusty 302 (circa 1976, aka the SMOG era and the reason why I wanted to save the 289) that I have sitting in the garage. In order to remove the engine out of the car I began by...

    Safety Third Before going to step three and painting, I decided to replace the charcoal cartridges and the filters in my air mask. The new cartridge/filter pack costs $17 bucks and it's like the third or fourth I bought already since I started to prime the car. The pack comes with one set of...

    Prep & Ready The second step in the three step process is the Prep & Ready. When applying this product with my brush I realized a familiar smell, low and behold it smells just like the Phosphoric acid you buy at Home Depot for half the price. I didn't read the label but I bet it is more...

    nothing wrong with a Coupe and judging from the pics you seem like a clean and organized guy with a plan, so go for it, I'm in, I can't wait to see the progress, as far as critics, you won't find a shortage of them, we the automotive fans are a vocal bunch, so one must have thick skin, and it...

    Marine Clean Marine Clean is the first product you use in the three step process. This is nothing more than Wax and Grease remover. However it is water based. This surprised the heck out of me, and I should have bought the quart instead of the gallon, since a little goes a long way. They...

    Moving Right Along So 2 or 4 hours later by lunch time anyways the surface was rust free and ready for paint. That's because I did fart around and work on the passenger wheel well a little too. So I will be painting the front sheet metal and the top of the fender aprons only as this is the...

    Splash shield removal

    Four - I am trying to remember where they go, there is one on the top I think that you get to by lifting the hood and it's in the same row as the top fender bolts, then there's one on the very bottom held on by some funky bracket, the third I think you get to from the wheel well and it's kinda...
