| Ok,
now for the second promised update for this weekend.
|
 |
We had some additional Car Nuts
this weekend. My younger son Arthur and Frank Serafine
showed up. My son is standing in back of Thomas and
Frank can be seen over the top of Thomas's head |
 |
This is how the Jeep starter this
weekend. |
| We
ended up taking more parts off the Jeep, notably the
left front fender, but also the starter, and
Distributor. We then squirted up the engine with
degreaser and went at it with tooth brushes. |
 |
 |
| This
tarp was under the Jeep in the garage on the floor and
this is just a sample of the grease and oil we got off.
It was then rolled (yes it actually moved after 6 six
weeks of sitting) out into the driveway an the pressure
washer was taken to it. |
 |
 |
| Next
step was to let it dry. While it was drying we removed
the valve cover and got ride of all the sealer, Thomas
started digging out the mud that was in the shock
towers. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Next step was to wrap up the Jeep
so we did not get overspray all over it. We were not
able to put tarps over the axles and springs as I wanted
to spray up the oil pan also. We will have to come back
and warp up the engine and respray the axles springs,
motor mounts black. |
| Now a
several thin coats of a high temperature primer. |
 |
 |
 |
First coat of AMC Metallic blue |
 |
And this is what it looks like
after several coats of the blue and then two coats of
clear. There is just a LITTLE bit of primer overspray on
the axles, springs, frame and engine mounts. Next
weekend after the engine paint has dried I will wrap the
engine and spray up all of those with some gloss black. |
