Cleaning the Chassis

Clean the chassis:
1. Pressure wash if possible use degreaser to clean off caked on dirt, mud and grease. Mine had 43 years' worth. I actually found a steering gear box under some of that stuff 

2. Use a power drill, stone, wire or other grinding attachment.
3. Grind away.
4. Turn chassis on its side and continue grinding on the bottom 5. Once free of grime, repair any rust holes with miracle paint, POR-15 or other similar product with fiberglass material.








6. Repaint to taste engine, chassis, transmission, etc, with enamel or other resistant and tough paint.








7. Clean and restore old bolts and washer when possible.



8. Remove and replace ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks, CV joint boots, etc.




9. Restore hardware, pedal assembly, brake lines, master cylinder etc.  and other components.
