Knowing that the temps were low and appears high humidity, what are you doing to prevent "flash rust" on all of those bare areas? Assume that it was too damp to clear, yes? BTW: Please let us know what you do w the NSX and any links to that build I'd appreciate, as I'm interested in most all brands, make & model vehicles.  |
Alvin - the four post lifts come with removable wheel assemblies that function on the lever and fulcrum principle. See this attached youtube video. I usually have a neighbor come up and move it with his riding lawn mower and a tow strap, but this weekend he was unavailable and three men and my Child Bride just pushed it out.

While it was nasty outside, the Hot Rod Garage has gas central heat. I cranked up the heat to 75 and turned on the two 24" fans on the back wall to dry it as quickly as possible. I also used a leaf blower prior to bringing it in to remove as much moisture as possible. There was much flash rust I could see, but prior to painting I'll probably wipe it down with Eastwood Afterblast which works well.
Not much to report on the NSX. It's as pristine as can be and is happily napping under it's winter cover. There really isn't much to do to it besides keep it clean, maintain it and drive it.
