(photo record for work performed in, Invoice #4)
Photo 1) Photos show front shocks which are flash rusted. To fix this, I had intended to scrub the flash rust off with a DuPont product called, 5717s. That product has been discontinued at I could not find it anywhere including online. I found a replacement product but, not before I found another alternative which is to scrub the metal with vinegar and then neutralize it with acetone. I tried this on a small spot as shown on the photo, and it works very well.
Photo 3) Picture of car after I removed parts that are to be
primed. The fenders, splash apron, and hood panels will also be primed. The
floor pans will be removed, primed, and reinstalled. The seat frames will be
primed where bare metal. Everything that is bare metal will be primed to
prevent rust development.
Photo 4) Most of the rear axle was primed years ago but the
ends and brake backing plates were not primed and are currently showing light
flash rust. These areas will be prepped and primed.
Photo 5) Photo shows leaf springs wrapped in plastic, and also, the fuel tank. I am treating the leaf springs differently from the rest of the parts. Since the plan is to have them chrome plated in the future, it would be wasteful to take them completely apart for priming now. Instead, I soaked them in Marvel Mystery Oil and wrapped them in plastic as shown in photo. Later I will wipe off the oil and prime the springs with oil based primer. This way, the springs can be chrome plated in the future, or if it is decided they should be painted instead, they can be painted with black oil base paint without being disassembled if you like, and the oil can remain between the springs.
Regarding
the gas tank, I poured the remaining
bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil in the tank and swished it around to
prevent rust from beginning inside. And because MMO spreads everywhere, it will
revel pin holes in the tank welds if there are any, and the pin holes can then be
soldered before gas is ever put in the tank. So far I do not see any pin holes.
Photo 6) These are products for your car I purchase with the
credit card you sent me. Products from O’Reilly’s Auto Parts in North Lawrence,
Kansas. And products from Water’s Hardware in Oskaloosa Kansas. The product costs
do not show on your bill of course since I purchased them with your card. Also
shown in photo are the vinegar and Mystery Oil
which I purchased with my credit card. The baggies in the photo are the
hardware that attaches the parts I removed. The parts will be reinstalled after
primer dries.
Note: I can e-mail you photo copies of the material receipts if you like. I
can also e-mail you an itemized invoice for the work I did if you like (I
already have it printed out for my records).
Note: The process of prepping and priming all the parts will take some time. I will do them one batch at a time until all are done.
THANK YOU, JERRY!
