e-tek Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share #217 Posted January 31, 2014 Finished off the brake rebuilds today, but I forgot to order the ball joints with my Black Dragon order, so I'm waiting on those from NAPA.... (I hate NAPA).... Time for a second application of Eastwood's Caliper Paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-tek Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share #219 Posted January 31, 2014 Glad to see you back at it.I've been REALLY busy in the shop, but haven't worked on the 240 after painting it. Took some time off my "real" job and finished the 40Ford, plus took a big bite out of the 68 Camaro. Just checking in on yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernz Posted February 9, 2014 Share #225 Posted February 9, 2014 Looks great E- Tek, is that the Eastwood cad paint on those nuts and washers? I'll be passing through Saskatoon this May, bringing my car back from White Head. Maybe I'll stop by to see your work in person!Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be passing through Saskatoon this May, bringing my car back from White Head. Maybe I'll stop by to see your work in person!MarkNo, it's a gold shade I found that is close, but actually covers! Eastwood's Cad system is 3 paints plus a clear. I used it on a brake booster for a 74 Challenger and it turned out great, but it's picky work that take a while - and maybe a couple tries - to get right.If you're on your way through by all means, look me up, there's always lots going on in m shop.

e-tek Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share #227 Posted February 10, 2014 As I am getting closer to bolting some items up to the car, I wanted to reverse the overspray on the undersides, so another coat of Rust Bullet was in order: then i pulled in all rear end suspension parts out of the storage shed and brought them into the shop. I tell ya - metal at minus 30C goes through the gloves - FAST! :ogre: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartsscooterservice Posted February 10, 2014 Share #228 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) It's not so long ago I painted the parts of my suspension but the front end is allready showing surface rust on some parts due the weather conditions right now. It's a constant fight against the elements I tell ya... :knockedou Edited February 10, 2014 by bartsscooterservice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
