Richie called to say the parts were cleaned, so I went out to pick them up. I’m not sure if they are really clean enough to paint, I have to figure it out and if not, send them out to be media blasted before paint.
Maybe I am just being to paranoid, but at this point I just want to be sure they are done right I’m more concerned with quality than speed right now so I will think about it before moving on. Back at the shop, I worked on the passenger side blister painting the interior with POR-15 to deal with any residual rust, when it is cured I will fiberglass the interior of it, insulate it with neoprene and install it on the firewall looking like new. With the heater core out I pulled the whole parking brake assembly out, cleaned and painted it too. I also put a coat of POR-15 on the firewall where the blisters will mount.
At this stage, the frame on the driver’s side is completely cleared except for the steering box which will be coming off soon. Once that is gone, we will clean and completely paint the frame before we begin to assemble it again.
