Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition
This morning I went out to the garage to pull the lid off of the tub with the hubcaps soaking in the Oaxlic solution. Below is a picture of when I inserted them into the tub and another photo taken this morning about 24 hours later.
The solution is working and my best guess is that the hubcaps will probably be free of rust by the weekend. As I go through this process I will take photos everyday until the rust is gone.
After I get them out of the solution and cleaned off I will go through the process of working the metal to get any of the dents and dings worked out the best I can. Then I will probably do a chemical strip of the paint with a citrus stripping solution I buy from Home depot. Then I will attempt to cut out the centers of two of the hubcaps and roll the edge over to make it look right. After all of that if all is good I will finally move onto the paint process.
If anyone knows of a good link to show the process doing the center portion cut out to turn them into a 4x4 hubcap.
