Well...........My NJSteve derusting station ended up showing my inexperience as an amateur trying to go where the "Experts" are..........two things happened.......first the process wasn't showing any results (after talking to the "Master" at MCACN it seems I didn't have a heater in my solution and as it was in the 50's in the garage,the cool solution was the problem) so....that was problem #1.......so when we got home from MCACN I was going to get a heater.........Problem # 2.........while at MCACN I left the pump running and spraying the rear axle housing......it seems that something shifted and the spray nozzle ended up spraying 5 gallons of solution all over the garage floor.....So....that saved me the effort of going out and buying a heater........Darn!!!
So.......I did the next best thing and got out the Makita grinder with a wire wheel ( what I should have done in the first place) and spent a half hour getting it cleaned up and ready for assy with all the new parts.....got a new Posi unit and a 3.55 ring and pinion.......gonna drop it off tomorrow and get it set up ......gotta stay away from that High Tech derusting stuff and stay within my abilities.........
Now.....While at MCACN we were walking around and found something that I didn't want........But ......I "Needed" for the "Mint" Nu Yawk Survivor Car.....As I was looking at the Rosewood wheel with the Impala Hub Assy, the Princess asked how much it was.....When I told her she said forget about it........But.....as soon as I started crying she gave in and bought it for me.........LOL.....Do I have her trained or what.....






Also.....after a week of working on collision jobs....George was back on the Impala.......got the quarters done and he was putting some minor sheet metal repairs in the drivers side wheel house........
