Apparently, she has never eaten lunch at the junkyard.  Axle grease has it's own flavor.

 

Thats what I said!  I told here after a while you dont even NOTICE the flavor,  but nooOOOOOoooo.

Kinda sorta car related.  My sister donated a Tea cart to me.  I started doing an "Artsy" paint job on it. Then I found out that she not only didnt expect it back,  she didnt WANT it back!  So I painted the legs the Blue Ive been using as High light color and now I have a car specific Tool cart! (I put a silicone mat on top of the tray so I wont ruin the paint)

I like the original engine color scheme of black and silver.    It looks good once everything is cleaned and has shiny paint.

I used POR 15 rust paint (the smallest can) and applied with a small brush.  I like the shade of silver and using a brush gives

you a bit thicker coat of paint than a spray can.  Black is just good quality spray paint.  Just my two cents worth.  Looks like

you are doing good work and accomplishing quite a bit.  Bob.

 

Wow. You have a gorgeous engine bay! I  am jealous!   I do like the silver engine and plan on keeping  it that color!

Are both the exhaust and intake manifolds silver, or is the exhaust manifold black?  On most cars it just looks rust colored.

Who is that question intended for?

[MarcDeSoto]

It's for anyone who knowswhat the factory color was of the manifolds.  

[OUTFXD]

Ahhh! I was trying to figure out weather you meant my manifold or Bobs. LOL

When I see a red fender well, I want to paint it black!

Nice Stones reference

Pulled up the door sill plates and, unsurprisingly, found some rott.

[OUTFXD]

And I Pulled up the Bench seat and removed the Cardboard covering the floors to find...... a remarkably intact floor pan.

[OUTFXD]

The culprit?  a pine needle choked Cowl  Vent seal.

Racing an incomming rain storm.  I do a quick clean up and mask off.

[OUTFXD]

I spray on a quick coat of Rustolium.  The temps in the mid fifties, I put a Propane heater in the passenger cabin hoping to raise the temp enough the primer will dry before the rain hits.

[MarcDeSoto]

excellent work.  The rocker panels almost always rust out.  They make replacement rockers I've heard.

We had a cart like that when I was very young. It's from the early 60s. Was grass green and chrome.

[OUTFXD]

Repainted the Cowl vent.  I was most of the way through before realizing I hadnt taken any before pics.  I painted the top piece black for the time being.  I will repaint it body color when I paint the car.

[Sniper]

I really want to put a shark's mouth, ala P-40, on my cowl vent, but alas I am no artist.

[OUTFXD]

That is a great idea!  You could have a P.A. system that plays the Jaws theme when  you open the vent!

That looks like the exact same cart! (save yours still has the center tray!)

[OUTFXD]

Two Hinge Brackets from the Cowl vent and the bracket that holds the vacuum actuator for the windshield wipers. They where pretty rusty. and I am pretty sure the Windshield wiper motor bracket was never painted at all. I am out of semigloss black so I painted them Glossy black. I mean, they are going to be tucked up under the dash where no one will ever see them anyways. (edited)

Wire brushed the loose rust, and degreased/washed the floor pan.  Got up a TON of Dirt and scale.  set up my Propane heater to dry it out. I will go over the rust and wash again. The rusty stuff will be cut out and new panels welded in at a later date.  At the moment just stopping additional damage (and cleaning it up).

I'm glad your in Washington and I'm in England. If I was any closer and sat idle for any amount of time I might end up painted Black and Blue. LOL

Gusting winds Where tearing my tarp garage apart so I had to delay priming the floor to tear it down before it blew into the neighbors yard. As soon as I was done taking it down it rained an entire cloud, limiting what I could primer. I got about 85% done.

[Young Ed]

Unless that floor has pin holes or is surface rusted to the point of being too thin no need to cut out and replace.
