Rust remover - more amazing uses!
 

Most of you probably remember when I found this stuff and used it to clean the surface rust from the entire underside of my Trans Am: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...78&page=26

Well, since I'm done with the T/A I decided to get the old Project Pit Viper cleaned up since it has been sitting for 10 years in the garage serving as a work bench/parts storage rack for at least the last 6 years.

I needed to get the rusty rotors cleaned and didnt want to just drive them to scrape the rust off. So I pulled the wheels and rotors and then soaked the rotors in the safest rust remover liquid. It was amazing. In just over 15 minutes the rust was gone. The key with this stuff is to get an aquarium heater and let it heat up the liquid to 70 or 80 degrees. The rust just dissolves away.

Here are the rotors before:

Here is the website for the place. They are here in New Jersey. This is where the Oklahoma Time Capsule 57 Plymouth is currently being derusted. I saw it while I was up there the other day.

The other thing I needed to attend to was to get the surface rust off of the battery tray. On the early Vipers the battery tray is underneath the trunk floor, welded to the right rear frame rail and pretty much unaccessible from the top or bottom. I rigged up a curtain of plastic around the battery box and folded it into a bucket. I then used the sump pump and a hose to a spray head and routed that into the trunk to spray the liquid over the tray and down the curtain into the bucket, where it gets recylced back again. I just let it flow for a few hours and it works very well.

Nice job Mac! One comment however regarding:

Out here we'd need an aquarium <span style="font-style: italic">refrigeration</span> system. You let anything sit out in ambient temperatures for very long and you begin to worry about things boiling!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]

LOL! I bought the one gallon concentrate that when added with four gals of water make five gals of rust remover. The warmer it gets, the better it works, so you're in the right place!

I am doing a 19,000 survivor Camaro now and the factory grease marks are no harmed at all.
