Thanks again Jim.

looking good wayne! :thumbsup:

Car is looking great, I wouldn't worry to much about the color of the primer, done properly, your painter should lay down a coat of sealer prior to painting. The sealer can be tinted if necessary, if not, it will at least provide a uniform base.

Good to see the updates Wayne. Nice to see your car sitting in your garage.
Keep us posted buddy.:cheers:

I cleaned up the parking brake pedal assembly last night. I used Safest Rust Remover, I soaked it over night and just rinsed with water and dried it. It came out pretty good. I'm going to coat it with satin clear and satin black. Thats the original paint on there. Let me know what you think.
Here are the before pictures.

Not too shabby aaaaahhh! Tonight I'm soaking the clutch, brake pedals and the support. I need to order more rust remover.

What did you use and from were did you get it? It did a very good job. Your car is coming along nicely. A

Thats the name of it Safest Rust Remover. Here's the link. I got it online. Its always done a good job for me. http://www.ultraone.com/ Check out the videos they have of it working. Its amazing. I have some of their degreaser but I haven't tried it yet.

Wow! That stuff is amazing! No scrubbing or anything? Just soak it?

No scrubbing. You just have to keep it wet, either submerge it or make it flow over the part with a small pump. Once I didn't have enough to cover the part so I took a piece of thick cloth and wet it and just pored it over the cloth every so often to keep it wet and it still worked.

Looks good Wayne. Keep up the good work man!:thumbsup:

Thanks Tony. Tonight I cleaned the clutch, brake pedals and the support. I just noticed even that is date coded.
Here are the before pictures.

Wayne ,give us a clue as how much of this stuff is needed to do the parts like U did--Do U reuse or is it DOA after use??.........jim

Jim; I used about 3/4 of a gallon thats all I have left. As long as the parts stay covered it works. I think agitation helps.I just bought a pump from Harbor Freight for $10, I'll try that. If you let the parts sit in the solution extra time after its ready it has a carbon looking stuff on the metal, but all I did was move the bucket so the solution swished around and it removes it. The good thing is no matter how long you leave it it doesn't hurt the parts. When I first got it about 3 years ago when I was in and out of the hospital I put some in an open container and forgot about it for a few months and it evaporated. I rinsed off the part that was in it and was good to go. From what I know you can keep using it. Eventually it will get filthy and it will need replacing but not for a long time. If you let it settle and siphon off the junk in the bottom it will help. I think You can add a little water if it evaporates but not too sure it should say on the web site. I always degrease the parts to help keep it clean.
This is where I got it check out the videos of it working.

Here's the gas pedal linkage.

Amazing stuff! I need to dunk my whole car in it......

Wayne. It is all looking great. Looks like you are moving right along. That rust remover seems to work awesome.

Wayne....

Anything new on the car?


Kev

Fuel and brake lines
 

Kev; I just got my 1/2" fuel and brake lines in a few days ago from Inline tube and there was a mistake when they made them. There was a mix up on the
rear end housing line its too long where the T for the hose goes. I'll get someone locally to trim and re flare it for me. On the front to back one piece line they put the stone guard on all of it. We had talked about putting it on the rear end line but they put it on the big line. I don't know if its worth shipping it back to them or not. I haven't talked to them about it yet I'll see what they say .

Geesh...

It never ends. Wrong this and that drive us crazy with these cars. Mine has been done for years except the add on's but that's enough. I couldn't handle what you are going through on your build. BTW, did you see/hear a Camaro go by your place a few days last week and the weekend? A white 68 with black stripes ? I was going to stop in but your garage door is never open. Steve said if his truck is there he is there but its not me to just drop in. I will be happy to give you a hand now and then if needed.

Kev

He's right if the truck is in the yard I'm usually home. Last couple of weeks were tuff with family stuff. I usually keep the door closed being in the middle of the city. no use advertising what going on inside. I'm usually around after Ten stop by if you want.

This weekend should be nice so I will be out in the Camaro. If you hear a fairly loud car about 10am or so Saturday its me. :) How do you like your Dunkin coffee ?


Kev

Wayne...

It was nice to see your car in person today! The pictures here on the forum don't really show the quality of work that has been done. Its going to be a show stopper when done no doubt. As I said, you have my number if you need a hand. It was nice throwing the bull about the old days and future plans on your 69.


Kev

Hey Wayne,
Thanks for the b day wishes!

How are things going with the project?

Hi Wayne, just getting caught up on your thread. Great to see it's finally home, now we need more updates!

I'm a little late....
 

Wayne, the car came out great! Very glad to see it home in your new garage! :thumbsup: :cheers: :woot:

Thanks. I've been laid up with my back so can only work for a little while then it goes out again. Also had family up from Florida for 2 weeks because of a death in the family. And finally some good news my daughter came in from California with her husband who just got home from Afghanistan in Sept. I'm going to be a Vavoo again! Thats grand father in Potugese......:D

Well VaVaVoom!!!

EEEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAA

:thumbsup: :cheers:

Thanks Greg it put a lump in my throat. I still think of her as my baby girl even though she's 32.

Congrats Wayne!
Hope your back gets better bud. Take care.

Congrats on being a Vavoo again Wayne!
Hope your back gets better bud. Take care.

Well here's a small overdue update. I've been tied up wioth the back and family stuff but I have been working on it.
I started putting the Dynamat in. Here are a few pictures.
I did the complete door sakin and the front part of the quarter panel.

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/000_0983.jpg

Under the dash is started.
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/000_0984.jpg

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/000_0991.jpg

and most of the floor is done.

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/000_0981.jpg

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/000_0990.jpg

I put a couple of small pieces in the vent holes where the kick panel goes just to deaden it a little.

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/000_0985.jpg

I did the 1/2" fuel line from back to front but don't have very good pictures. My wife just came out to get me she thinks midnight is too late to be taking pictures in the garage. Silly woman !

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...m/000_0992.jpg

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...m/000_0993.jpg

Here's what I have planned for my filters, pump and regulator. It will go at the front of the tank something like Lenie used on his car.

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...m/000_0989.jpg

I also put in the brake line front to rear and across the front of the sub frame.

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...s/000_0977.jpg

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...s/000_0969.jpg

And I bolted up the plates for the DSE connectors so they can be welded to the sub after they are painted.

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/000_0967.jpg


http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/000_0968.jpg

We drilled and tapped the plates plus put a nut on the back side.

Nice Job on the Fuel lines :thumbsup:

Thanks they are prebent from Inline tube I just get credit for installing them. lol

Looking Good Wayne!

Alright Wayne. Good to see your update. :thumbsup:

How's the back after installing all that dynamat? Mine was killing me for days after hopping in and out of the car about a thousand times a day. :yes:

Thanks
Patch First its like being drunk room spinning when that goes away then my back reminds me I'm 56 not 26. It hasn't been too bad I have a buddy Spaceman he's been here with me every day cutting so I don't have to keep jumping in and out too often. He gave me a hand with the rest of the stuff too. He's also like my personal diet counselor every time I moan or groan He says that was that extra helping at diner. PAIN IN MY...... I mean what a nice guy.

Looks great under there!!

Wayne, are you Portuguese? Both my parents came from the Azores.

Yes I am My father's older brother and sister were born in St Michaels then they moved here. But my grandmother wanted all her kids born there so she went basck when she was pregnant had my father and he came here when he was 9 months old. I'm not sure what town on the island.

Wayne,

Great to see the progress your making, Nice Job :thumbsup: .

So whats the plan for paint, is it scheduled to go in, or are you gonna mock the drive train up then pull it for paint? Nail down a color?

Have a merry Christmas!- Rich

Glad to see you moving forward Wayne! I really like what Lennie did on his fuel system too...:thumbsup:
