Well finally made it back into the garage today. Work, Honey-Do list, and some medical issues have way-laid me for the last couple of weeks.
I was tired of having the all the tires and other parts laying around. So I put the rear tires back on the car for right now to get them out of the way.
I also had the hood hinges laying around, and now since the firewall is all painted and cured, it time to get those refurbished and back on the car. So the first pic is what the hinges started out like. The second pic is what they looked like after a quick blast with glass bead. The third one is after I removed the springs. I ran it back though the blast cabinet again to get the hidden aware that are not visble one I could move the assembly. The springs are sitting in some Evapo-rust over night to get all the rust out of the inside surface of the coils where I really cant media blast. The first coat of cadium paint is currently on the hinge assemble. (Pic to follow tomorrow). And once the spings are rerusted, then will get painted black. This is called out for in the PI Judging guide. Cadium plated hinges with black springs, and this was confirmed on my car. There are traces of black paint on the springs. After everthing is painted, I will let it all cure for a couple days before putting the springs back on.
