Re: Winter Granny Project..
Did some more work tonite...stripped her right down, so I can paint the motor and frame. Boy some of the stuff was very brittle...the temp sending unit fell apart in my hand. PCV hose was so dry rotted it crumbled into little pieces...wire harness clips, same thing..snap!! Overall the stuff is pretty solid...couple of items to repair and refurbish, like the carb (see resto thread). I am going to try the Eastwood Chevy orange engine paint with a brush...we also used a product from SEM called "rustshield"...this stuff is dyanmite, Jason Hale hooked me up with it. We painted the inner fenders, under the hood, back of fenders...and they look beautiful. I'm going to brush it on the sub-frame and paint some other hardware for the car. Here are a couple of pics of the engine bay...just a little more prep and then some paint.

Re: Winter Granny Project..
RustShield is great stuff. It goes on like frosting. I use it all the time. Looking good Tom!

Re: Winter Granny Project..
Jason, this stuff is really neat...looking forward to seeing the results. What has been your experience with painting over areas that are a little rough...like those control arms you see in the photo..?? Thanks

Re: Winter Granny Project..
Tom,
It will fill in some voids if you lay it on thicker. Just go slow and don't reduce it. If you do want to reduce it for certain areas I have used lacquer thinner. It changes the color a bit though. The stuff covers 220 scratches and more so it is pretty forgiving. Just play with it. It is cheap enough that you could resand the areas and reshoot and not kick yourself too hard. Jason
