Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
That would be the perfect area to use the safestrustremover/evaporust and rig up a sump with a flower sprayer and a plastic sheet to drain back into a catch basin. This was the kind of surface rust that I cleaned up on the '72 Trans Am a few years back. Find a plastic Kiddy pool at ToysRus and get a cheap pool cover sump. Five gallons of the liquid will do just fine.

</div></div> Look just to the left of the spray and you'll see the surface rust. The stuff does not affect paint unless the paint is lifting because of rust already. The main thing is to make sure the area is degreased. Grease and oil will prevent the water based liquid from doing its job. |

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Here's a couple photos of how I did it. Just get some large pan to act as a catch basin and use waterproof tarp or plastic sheeting as a giant funnel, with the sump sitting in the lowest point of the sheeting, inside the pan. Use binder clips to hold the plastic sheet to the body and to maintain the downward funnelling of the liquid.
Here is an underside view. I used some wire coathangers to hold the sprayer in various positions. The warmer the liquid is, the faster it works. Hot summer weather is best but you can also use a small fishpond heater to keep the liquid temperature up. 80 degrees or more works great. |

If they are the original cylinders you can send them to Whitepost for sleeving.

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Easy off works great on grease and carbon build ups, it is slightly acidic (easily neutralized with water) which will also cut through some rust.

Great posts Darrell. Enjoying your progress. Your father would be happy. On a personal note, your father was always very nice to me, as well as your uncle, Archie. Very knowledgeable and always enthusiastic.
