Taking apart continues.

A 90+ degree day here in tidewater Virginia.  I'm slightly hung over.  Its humid as balls.  It took me 7 hours to make the 4 hour drive from my home in York.  Anyway.  Time to take more parts off cars.

 

Started with the master cylinder bracket.  I used up a TON of time cussing and fighting before I figured out all I had to do was pull the 4 bolts that I thought were part of the steering shaft bushing through the firewall.

Success!

 

And while I was in there, I pulled all these other brackets off.

And then sand blasted them for powder coating.

And then all this stuff got pulled off to get cad plated.

And this

 And these (after blasting all the rust off that clutch cylinder bolt)

All this stuff will get cad plated.

Also, check it out.  I've got headers!

It seems like not a lot of work, but that was about 8 hours of labor.  

 

Other stuff:

The gas tank got boiled, and was riddled with pinholes. :(

But the 2 part epoxy coating that we were going to coat it with anyway is supposed to be pretty thick and will seal them off.  As I've already paid for the tank to get boiled and for the epoxy kit, we are going to try it out and see how it works.  If not, I'll be in the market for a new tank.

 

The list of work for next months session will include:

*Installing new motor mounts.  

*Cutting out the trunk floor for replacement.  

*Clearing rust away from where the fresh pedal cluster will go, and replacing the pedal cluster and brake bracket.

maybe already planned, but be sure to reinforce the driver's side motor mount.

Its not planned.  I'm still learning about the quirks of these cars.

Why do you need to reinforce the drivers side motor mount?  I have brand new mounts to go in, is that not enough?
