I messed with the "Krome Zone" powdercoat from Summit.
My Harbor Freight Gun works great- but the difference between Summit's media and Harbor Freight's - Summit's is about $15 a 1lb more - works a heck of a lot better.
I replaced both trailing arms, strut rods, and put in a composite rear spring this weekend... getting her aligned this week then it's off to the races...well, the neighborhoods
Sunday I went to the swap meet in Nashville TN . I found the correct harmonic balancer pulley for the SBC.
this week end I will put the shim kit in the rear railing arms.
I cleaned it with a bit of very fine sanding paper. Then used anti rust primer and a very thin coat of paint. I had to re-do it because the first time I sprayed it too much and the paint started to peel and flake.
The second time I sprayed it with very thin layer and it came out nice. But still the paint is quite "fragile" if I can say so. You can scratch it easily.
This is what I used:
These are good quality paints. My friend introduced them to me. They use them at their factory where they produce cabins for Caterpillar. They use the anti rust ones to protect the welds from rusting.
The black paint is also very good. Used it on some parts. Will post a picture of the fan, which I sandblasted and painted it in black.
sold it. I may have done 500 miles in the '72 in 2 years as my default is always the LT-1. I will replace it, just not sure what era Vette will be the replacement.
It's gone to a good home, or it will at the end of Feb. A little sad but I firmly believe they should be driven and that wasn't happening with this one
What a nice pair of Vettes! I mean! WOW! Really! But I do understand the selling part. Don't you agree that these cars work better when they are driven regularly?
I've been putting this project off for quite a while. I got some tools together to pull the windshield out of my '81.
I was pleasantly surprised that there was only surface rust and no rust holes. Had some problems getting four of the clip retaining screws out. Stripped out screw heads. Now the fun begins.
