65 Mustang Restoration
Finally,,, we're back at it! It's been almost a month since we've been able to get after it on the car. But just because I haven't posted anything,, doesn't mean that we've not been doing anything. Many more parts were ordered,,, the rest of the sheet metal has arrived,,, along with several more coatings & chemicals from Eastwood.
If you're planning on getting your car "Blasted",,, then "After Blast" from Eastwood is a must,, especially if it's going to be awhile before all of your permanent coatings can be applied. Of coarse,,, this product wasn't out yet when we got our stang blasted,,, so we've had it sealed in our garage with the dehumidifier going full-bore trying to keep out the moisture,, (pretty successfully actually). When I saw the ad about this item, I knew it was for us,,, so when it arrived, we spent a couple of hours getting it applied.
Here's a note,,, "DO THIS OUTSIDE"! The fumes are pretty wicked. First we sprayed the spots that were starting to get some new surface rust with our KBS, Rust Blast,,, let it soak for a few minutes, then wiped it off. After those spots were taken care of, we sprayed down ALL of the blasted areas with the "After Bast" cleaner from Eastwood. Again, after a couple of minutes of soak time,, we wiped it off with lots of paper towels. Besides the fact that it cleans out all of the pores in the metal of sand, oils, & whatever,,, it leaves a coat of phosphate on the metal which helps to keep it from rusting,, and is suppose to help when we apply the coatings to the surfaces.
I should be back tomorrow night with more updates, so cya then.
