Dinotrol is a corrosion preventive used in the aircraft industry. It comes in an aerosol spray can and is easy to apply. It will wick into seams and is made to displace water. It dries very thin and can be removed with solvent. It is not a coating that will stand up to constant wear and tear. Good for inner doors, fenders, frame rails etc. Dries like a waxy film.

I’ll do some research, thank you!
 
Hey Hey Hey we have cruise control! Refurbishing the stalks with new lettering and clear coat and will post that later but it all works! Just needed 3 external relays and lots of time

Got home and discovered I had a high pitched whine near the passenger side firewall inside the engine bay. It doesn’t change with engine RPM so I’m thinking it’s a vacuum leak.

If you don't have a stethoscope, improvise. Best tool ever for pinpointing sounds.
 
Over the last week or so, I’ve restored the center console, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. Lots of sanding, painting, wets sanding, and more painting. After testing several colors and settling on a less than perfect match I painted, when I went to Lowe’s to pick up some satin clear for the final finish, I decided to look one more time at browns. Low and behold Rustoleum Dark Walnut. It’s a damn near perfect match other than being a gloss, it matches the unfaded dark brown perfectly. You can’t tell the unaged underside of the console from the outside now. I ended up going with rustoleum satin clear, just to knock down the shine a little on the final finish.

Billy, that turned out awesome
 
Finally installed a dash grab bar. I was going to match the metal dash color but I had some paint left over from painting my ammo box center console. I shot a few coats of that on it and honestly I like the contrast look. Not OEM but neither was the grab bar in the states. 😉
