Well, the weaather is crappy here, but the project marches on. It's time to get the front end degreased and get the last of the undercoating removed. We moved the car and lift out to the driveway and everything has been given a liberal spay of diesel fuel and PB Blaster to dissolve and soften over night. Tomorrow morning the fun starts with the tyvek suits and pressure washer. Honestly, I don't think it will be that bad, but it will still suck. It sucks in 70 degree weather and will suck even more with a high of 40 tomorrow.
Lots of other stuff got done today, but nothing big. All the bolts that have been removed have been cleaned, wire wheeled and cleared. The steering box has been finished up, and the plastic cover that goes over the steering coupler (rag joint?) has been sanded down and painted with plastic paint. It looks really good. Hopefully by this time tomorrow the Gold Car will be back inside, free of 36 years of grease and oil, and warm and dry. We'll see. Here's a couple of pictures.
