bit.ly – Click the link for more prepping tips The first thing that you need to do is was the vehicle to remove all silicones. For this application, regular dish soap works well. It strips the waxes and greases, which is the purpose of this pre-wash. Car soaps are designed to protect the car waxes on the surface. This step can save you many problems and headaches later down the repair process. If silicones are not completely removed, they may be smeared into the substrate and cause fisheyes during the painting process. After you have properly washed the car, you may even want to use wax and grease remover to assure all contaminates are removed from the vehicle.
Mustang Project – Part 1 – The Start
Donnie-smith.com This project is not being performed at the college, but at home with my boys, Jordan and Jacob. We bought this 1966 Mustang last summer as a father-son project. We don’t have the time or money to do a full restoration. Therefore, our plan is not to build a show car, but a nice looking car that you can drive on a daily basis. We will have to repair as much as possible, because we have a low budget for the project. We decided to do this low budget project and video some of the steps as a guide for other parents that may want to do a parent-child project. Again, it you’re looking to do a full restoration (show car quality) these may not be the steps to follow. You’re probably going to completely disassemble the car and rebuild piece-by-piece. Check back as we get this Mustang back on the roads.
