I have been putting it off for years. But it looks like I am just going to have to get a bigger vice. I am keeping an I on CL hopefully I will come across a old Wilton or something like that. I have thought about buying an harbor freight vice as it looks like they come from the same factory as Yost, Olympia and Irwin.

Well to day I tried a newer product called DR X it works pretty good but it's kinda expensive. I only bought 1 gallon of the cleaner and sealer. I probably needed to but 3 gallons of cleaner to do the job. But for light rust it clean the metal really well. unfortunately I did not have enough to get all the rust.

So I did some more wire willing and got as much rust out of the pits as I could then I used some eastwood fast etch let that sit for an hour then I prepared it for paint.

I only spayed some of the fire wall as I am still doing some work on the upper part of it. I also sprayed the floor and inner fire wall as I still have some work to do around the windshield frame that and I want to por 15 the windshield frame lip as there is a lot of pitting there I plan to sandblast the area be for I por 15 it.
