What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Got my new wheels and tires put on

 

I have pulled the heater boxes on several cars , reached in and removed all the pine needles and leaves.
on Patches, I did as Cometized suggested and sealed the cowl.

 

This is a 2016 Viper Competition Blue color. I'm not sure if it is exactly what I had in mind. Thought it was going to be closer to Grabber Blue . Any input ?

 

My cowl doesnt leak....but I have been wondering how to clean it out without removing the cover. I also was wondering if there was some way to pour rust converter into it, or spread it through there with a sponge.....how much access is created with heater box removal??? I know this is bordering on a new thread, but curious minds (mine) really, really, want to know.

 

Got 351w and c4 in

 

You can take ospho and use a small tube to pore it in. You can also take a small capful and reach up through the air intake under the dash and pour it around.

 

took Patches for a......

 

Hi again Stu:
You can clean out the area you've mentioned from the " SIDE " and " Prep" the inner areas of the cowl with a good rust inhibiter ( OSPHO) which is low priced and available at most all ACE Hardware stores .. The OSPHO can be applied with a spray bottle and some cheap paint brushes. After the applications of OSPHO .. let it ' cure ' a few days then apply some POR black paint to the areas you can reach . I have a small clip on the CAMEO website that shows most of the steps I've described if you'd care to peruse the article. The website is www.cameoclub.com in the Restomod/Improvements file. Click on that if you'd like to see more. This forum also has articles on dealing with the same subject which would help you immensely . I wish you success on whichever steps you take .

Did you do anything to the shock towers? And what headers are you running. Looks good

 

Polished front bumper, painted "rusty" side with POR15. Soaked bolts and brackets in a concrete mixing tub with 3 gallons of white vinegar to de-rust.

 

Why didn't you just notch the fenders on both sides like on small bumper fenders?

 

I dont know how the small bumper fenders are notched....and I thought I had less material to remove the way I did it. I was afraid too cut too much, so I paid for that with filing, but I got a nice fit in the end.

 

Will be doing this when I can afford the right stuff to seal it (not to mention I can always use Por15 practically every where else on the car) and I Definitely will be without cowl vents because once it's sealed they will be welded and I have been figuring out possible ways to seal the wiper posts when they're not in use but can be quickly when they're needed.

Sandblasting brake calipers today I hate it but the white metal parts are coming out purrrtay for just having a rattle can primer and silver metallic paint sprayed on'em

 

Almost finished the new fuel line and trying to check "everything" so the car is ready to be shown to the goverment for license plates

 

Had not heard of OSPHO. Thanks!
