newbie info

[timmbuck2]

I did not see a FAQ for this section, so I thought I would post up a newbie question. First of all, I am stripping off the rust in my engine bay of my 40 and the POR-15 black in there. Anyone have any pictures of a clean engine bay like that? I am using a braided wire wheel on my grinder, any suggestions on anything better? Wire cup? Flap disk? I will probably go ahead and wire wheel as much of the frame and the diffs that I can easily reach, and POR 15 them as well. What about the undersides of the fenders? I took them off to help get to the rust as well as drop a new 2f in there, so I can easily strip the undersides and at least POR and prime for now. What about smaller parts, like the bezel, etc? Get a little sandblast unit and go to town? Thanks all!!!

Probably a tight squeeze in some places.

I have used Wire Drill attachemets to do some rust/dirt/paint removal.

I have a Mini wire wheel,

one that looks like a cup,

and one that has wires shooting straight out like a round paint brush about as thick as your finger.

Got em at Home Depot.
