Things are getting a little tight in the "shop"!
That reminds me, I was able so far to score some freebies! That rolling toolbox in the last pic was donated by a good friend who wanted to help me get this done. Also I had a Compressor (non-working) donated last night by my dad so tonight my goal is to get that thing running. It is on a small tank so if I can get it going I will need to upgrade it to a large tank. OH! Also with the compressor came a full set of air tools. It is a Titan Industrial set that was won in a raffle and he didn't have any use for it, SCORE!
Still on the list of tools I need to acquire:
- 220v MIG welder
- Auto Body Sander
- Electrical Tester
- Tubing Bender
- 12 Ton Hydraulic Press
- Misc. other shop tools
The jeep is ready to remove the tub but I need to wait until I can get some buds over to lift it off. Then I will wire wheel it clean. Today I bought the POR-15 kit so I can coat the tub bottom and the frame when I'm done grinding and welding on it.
Also I need to start breaking down the motor for paint and figure out if I can get an HEI setup for the 258, is there a cheap way to do that? Then I will figure out the intake as well.
Got a lot of wrenchin' and readin' to do.
So the PO rolled in some sort of crappy bed liner all over the tub. This stuff is super oily and didn't ever harden So I tested out a few different methods of removal. WD40 and a wire brush take it off pretty well but I don't really want to cover my tub in WD so I picked up some M.E.K. and am going to give that a shot. I heard this stuff is nasty so I also picked up a respirator and some heavy duty PVC coated chemical gloves for the application.
I guess I just brush it on and rinse it off? I will try a test section and see how it works this weekend.
