[quote=VWNate1;7268022]As usual , I see a lot of good , hard work here .
About your hood springs : if you bead blast them , they prolly won't hold the hood open anymore .
Agreed stretching for cleaning and re painting is good idea but they tend to loose tension when blasted , leaf springs do too .
that makes sense so i figured i'll take a differnt aproach to derusting these springs.
so i took a lil' time too construct a electrolisis tote/tank
after all the only thing i needed was the washing soda.
so off too wally world the wifey an i went(cant go there without the woman) and of course their "super washing soda"shelf was empty but her cart was full of everything i didnt go there for
.
so i had the wife ask'm if anymore was in the store....of course not...three differnt stores and an hour 20 min later i had two boxes in my hand. also paid the wifey the dollar i owed her after i lost the bet that the next store wouldnt have any either.
kinda followed instructions that the big kid wrote down and posted in the garage a few years ago on how too set the tank/tote up.
I set it up and proceded too grill dinner(not anywhere near the tank) after dinner it got late quick but i checked in the dark an i saw bubbles
.
so after work today i was all giddy about clean hood springs i ran over to check on my 2 springs hanging in the tank and boy did they look more rusty than before.....but wait a minute i have nice clean rebar????
so i came in too do a search and wouldnt you know it the kids instructions on the leads were backwards
. so i fixed the leads and cranked the charger up.i guess i can be giddy again tomarrow.
