Cleaning and Painting |
| Not much fun, but it has to be done. | |||
|
Cleaning and painting parts is the worst part of this project. I've found that a wire brush on a drill or sandblasting is the best way to clean nasty greasy parts. |

|
The engine and suspension part required quite a bit of cleaning. I used a variety of powdercoating, POR 15 and spray paint to get them looking new. |
|
|
|
| The entire brake system on the rear axle was replaced and converted to disc brakes. That meant minimal cleaning, but lots of new parts |
|
|
|
| Here is the rear axle before any work was done. It cleaned up pretty well. I also replaced the rear differential cover with a new chrome one. |
|
|
|
| The engine got an overhaul as well as a paint job. I also replaced the valve covers and pulleys with polished aluminum parts. |  |
||
| Even though you don't see the wiring, it got some cleanup as well. The wiring on the left came straight out of the Mustang donor. On the right it has been cleaned up, all the extra wiring for air conditioning, power windows, radio, etc. have been removed. |
