    Jeff, great job as always! I'm a bit behind in your vids so I'm going back through to make sure I see them all. I'm thinking I'll need to do this to mine too, it's still nasty.

    This is the second "copper" Ford I've run across today looking at information.
    First one was a Cinnamon Frost 67 Cougar over at West Cost Classic Cougars.
    I also have a "copper" Ford: 67 Mustang GT coupe 390, originally Burnt Amber.
    Totally a sign!

      Love that color. The truck is supposed to be Sequoia Brown, But along life's way it got swathed in a gold.

    Another valuable tool would be a plastic bond spreader. You can slice it into varying widths and use it as a scraper to clear off flat areas of the engine or inner fenders. Worked for me.

    • @AutoRestoMod
      @AutoRestoMod  5 років тому

      Good idea! We've done that before with pretty good success. Engines are a bit tougher because of the nooks and crannies.

    Pretty nice job, Jeff.....Clean up like this does take some effort/ elbow grease...But hey,, sometimes a pressure washer is not an option or readily available....
    Wire wheels work well,,, BUT I hate how those little wires come off and get EVERYWHERE...You better be wearing Safety Glasses when using them...
    I like using mostly Cheap plastic bristle brushes that I pick up at any Dollar store...Mostly in the Kitchen/bath section,, Heck I've found that a Toilet Bowl brush (both the Flat and round style) works great at getting into all kinds of areas...I've also found many uses with a brush that is used in cleaning Baby bottles/nipples... Works great at getting into small nooks and crannies...
    I too use Carb cleaner, Brake cleaner, as well as a Degreaser that I make by Dissolving around a 1/2 Cup of the Original/Creamy GO-JO in a Gallon of water...Then pouring it into old spray bottles...Works good and is cheap... lol

    Jeff,
    Thanks for that and exactly what I was looking for! For the non-movable parts you mentioned glass beading. Is a thorough cleaning, wire wheeling, rust converter, painting, sufficient? Or do you always recommend glass beading?
    Thanks, G

    • @AutoRestoMod
      @AutoRestoMod  5 років тому

      G, we are going to discuss paints next Thursday. Glass bead is only if you have the ability. Some parts are a little to hard to wire wheel.

    CO2 blasting would be a better option than glass beads. Of course that depends on if you can get the equipment.

      Great idea. But oven cleaner would need to be done outside even more so than car cleaner. I'll try that next time though!
