Brakes

Today I got the master cylinder installed and all the hard brake lines run. I still have the 2 hard lines that run along the rear trailing arms to bend, but I want to get the arms installed first.

Coating the Pan

Today I was able to get all the seams sealed and the entire pan undercoated both top and bottom. The rotisserie made spraying the pan so much easier. I still need to clean and coat the spring plates and trailing arms before I can put the rear end back together. But the rear brakes come tomorrow, so I'll be getting the suspension ready very soon.

Coating the Pan

Today, after Gunking the entire pan, I washed it with dish soap to remove all the Gunk residue that was leftover. Then I took some lacquer thinner to all the paint that was left to soften it up a bit before spraying the pan, top and bottom, with Rust Bullet. This stuff is thick and sticky! Make sure to use a heavy plastic on the floor since your shoes will stick to it.

Pan Halves

I finally got the pan on the rotisserie today. The pan halves have been welded in place but I still need to grind down the welds. I also need to remove the seat tracks since I will be building new ones for my custom seats. Once that is done and the pan has been degreased, it will be ready for a bath in Rust Bullet. Hopefully that will be done by this weekend.
