Motoblag's '71 Duster
How did I ever get things done without bigger hammers?
I tried the freezing the pushrod with canned air, no luck. Clamped the vise on the pushrod on a non-seal area, vise grips on the master cylinder guts, apply hammer.
I dressed down the vise marks with a file to knock it back down to flush. The rod is sitting in evaporust now so I can hit it with paint later.
Cleaned and wiped down the nasty brake fluid leak area, then applied rattlecan. The flash makes it look weird. Hard to photograph at night.
Tried out the 3M rust and paint stripper disc:
A++ would buy again.
Trying to figure out if I'm going to shell out for the AMD lower fender repair panels or practice my cutting, welding and cursing skills by welding in some sheet metal I'll hand-form into something vaguely resembling the original panel shape.
Also aim to get new front tires on the wheels next week. Then I can get it back on the ground for the first time in months!
