1930 REO

1930 REO
(photo record for work performed in, Invoice #5)

Photos 5-1a thru 5-1e) Photos show preparation of leaf-springs, priming, and painting.  Springs were scrubbed with steel wool, vinegar, and lacquer thinner. Power wire-wheel was used on sides to get between groves. Rust buster pad was also used in some areas. Springs cleaned up well and received primer and paint. All of the pre-purchased oil base paint was used (two pints).

Photos 5-2a thru 5-2c) Spring perches were rusted and corroded inside where rubber insets sat. Cleaned out the heavy corrosion, then soaked them in vinegar to further remove rust.

Photos 5-3a thru 5-3e) Parts were disassembled and hardware was soaked in vinegar to remove rust. Hardware was then left to soak in Marvel Mystery Oil. 

Photos 5-4a thru 5-4c) Along with scrubbing parts with vinegar and steel-wool, rust-buster pad was used where needed to remove  rust.

Photo 5-5a) Scrubbed with vinegar and then gone over immediately with lacquer thinner, parts cleaned up nicely.

Photos 5-6a thru 5-6c ) Parts receive epoxy primer coating. Very glad how they turned out, and glad to have them now protected from rust.

 

Note: There are more parts to prep and prime. I will do them one batch at a time until all are done.

 

 

THANK YOU, JERRY!
