I use a variety of sealers such as T9 Boe-Shield, Gibbs, Cosmoline, RPM, Slip Joint and several others depending on the part. It is not a cure all and has to be recoated from time to time or you will get flash rust.

Wow Rick, totally assume. I bet you and Annie smile the whole time you guys work on it. I caught that part about you not being able to wind it out. I'm sure Annie would be glad to show you.

I was so excited to see you posted pictures. What fun you will have at NOCC.

Did you coat the brake calipers and steering box with anything?
They look good.

I sure hope you get to bring it to the Super Car Reunion next summer. You can drive it down the track without being hard on it, or let her drive it. Then ease it over to the museum for the show.

It will likely be the other way around. LOL Here she is driving her 68 COPO Nova up against her formally owned 69 ZL1 at SCR10 with the new owner Jeff Murphy at the wheel.
