Daily Update

So today started off with a quick trip to the dump, a little more room to move around in the garage now but i could stand to take another trip.

After i got back the kids and i hit the garage to start cleaning suspension parts. A little heat (blow torch), a 4 foot breaker bar, 2 impact guns and a few wrenches and its 80% apart. I know i own a pickle fork but for the life of me I cant find it. A few of the more stubborn arms wouldn't come out with the dead-blow hammer. Tomorrow I will pick up a new pickle fork and a 34mm socket to get these axel nuts off.

Once apart i filled a large Rubbermaid container with degreaser and warm water and put the kids to work. Nothing like a little child labor to start the afternoon. 4 hours of scrubbing with SOS pads and a wire brush resulted in 4 A arms that look like new.

Now I know some people paint these after cleaning them, but why?
After using the wire brush they look like new.
Does paint clean easier in the future?
seems like it might just flake off, rock chips and then look worse.

Tomorrow will be more of the same, lots of arms and spindles to clean.

I was also reading about using a 12 volt battery charger, some re-bar and a few chemicals to remove rust from parts. I was considering putting the wheel bearing assemblies in that solution to remove the surface rust. I could then throw a coat of black paint on those to prevent future rust.

All of the rubber and seals look good except for the ones on the calipers and the one on the rods for the rear suspension. Looks like i might have to replace those.

The Donor comes home

All the donor parts are now safely in my garage. My engine hoist isnt here yet so i had to think of a way to get the engine out of the crate and into my garage. I cheated a little using the car ramps and the quad winch but it all worked out great.

Here is what my garage space looks like. I have some mess to clean up. Believe it or not this is after 2 loads to the dump and about 12 hours of tool sorting. TV on the wall is so i can watch TopGear while i work. I have been trying to talk myself into a 2 post portable lift. They are pretty cheap shipped to my door. Being able to move the car up and down may make the job a little easier.

Ordered parts for my next project.

DSC_3051

I fully expect this project to take 3 years to complete.  I found a 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette C5 in Ontario and a kit to build out of California.

The Factory Five GTM is a build-it-yourself supercar. Based on tough Corvette C5 running gear, and merged with lightweight composite body and extremely rigid tubular steel chassis.

“…the car trips to 60 MPH in three seconds flat and clears the quarter-mile in 11.0 seconds at 132 miles per hour. And that, amigos, is quicker than a Porsche Carrera GT, a Ferrari 599 Fiorano, and a Z06 Corvette.”
