Wife's in Maine for the week - so I'm back in the tub [Lots of PICS]
:lol: :yesnod: Washing parts again !! :yesnod: :lol:
Here are the Aarms in my front end rebuild. I welded the bore that the
machine shop mucked up for me. It came out fine.
Here they are after wire brushing - being degreased:
What a mess !!
On the bathmat:
Rinsed nice and clean:
'Metal Ready' applied to prep suface for POR15:
All dried off after prep:
A nice coat of POR15 (silver):
After it's tacky - just a dusting of Krylon semi-flat black:
Then the next day, a good coat of the Krylon. sweet :
I've fabricated the spacers and have the hydraulic press - so tomorrow I'll be
pressing in the bushings. Stay tuned ...

I sure hope your wife doesn't lurk on the CF while she's on vacation....& You better clean that mess up before she gets home too....

Well, the 'mess' was actually dirty cleaner (orange based degreaser) - so the
tub came out cleaner, and smelling nice in the end. It's actually our 'boy's bathroom',
but we all use it since I started a 12 month refurb of our upstairs bathroom.
To be honest, I took these pictures before they left for Maine. Kim doesn't
mind me washing parts in the tub - as long as it's clean in the end.

Hey, my wifes going to be gone for the weekend, perhaps I'll take the valve covers off and polish them, rinsed in the tub first of course. :lolg:
