Most of you probably don't know but I've been building an "cough, cough" American car the last half of this year. Embarassed Well I've stumbled across a couple of items that will definitely help our VW bretheren.

First, a possible ass-kicker to PB Blaster? And way cheaper to boot? Say it isn't so!!! I'm sourcing a suitable sprayer at the moment that's more or less airtight and can handle the acetone without melting and then I'll give it a whirl. http://eevac.org/B-9-nut%20buster.htm

And we have this stuff for our friends who wanna rock the rust!
http://www.picklex.com/
I ordered some and will be doing some tests with it to see if it's the solution I've been looking for.

Anybody else got some dirty little secrets?

OK! I confess.... My friend was doing a rad swap on his 77 Ford dent side, and...... I was the accompliss...


Also, I did some rust repair on my little brothers S10 a few weeks back...

Although, there is alot of Sick cars in this world, and I am glad people build'em, I can only see VW's when I close my eyes to dream...

Post a pic of your non-dub! (just make sure there is a VW in the background somehow... {even photoshopped...} -So some VW peeps don't go into shock. lol... I and many others would love to see it... (what is it again?)


I got it off my chest! Smile Creativity comes in all forms, CHEERS!

I posted up that exact rust buster test elsewhere on here not long ago, but it's worth mentioning again. I use one of those re-fillable cans that you pressurize with your air compressor. Shake it up before spraying since it separates quickly. It works great!

As far as the American Iron, we forgive you.

More information on the can you're talking about? That sounds interesting and I've never seen something like that.

Bought mine at Harbor Freight. Not sure on availability. I'll look around.

by far the best rust converter/inhibitor i've used. this stuff is amazing and it goes on so nice and just keeps spreading and attaching so a little of this goeas a very long way. by far one of the best valued products ive used.

Well as requested here's what I started with. Looks a million times better than it actually is.

And, here's where I'm at right now. Engine swap in process. There are sooo many more parts in one of these monsters than anything else I've ever worked on. Good times though!

The Picklex is supposed to go pretty far like the Rust Bullet. Let's hope I'm right cuz the stuff isn't exactly cheap!!

NAES, be very careful to have adequate ventilation using that acetone in your mix it is a known carcinogenic, or is that only in the state of California Wink . After using that crap for years indoors as per my boss's request in my youth I always wonder about my health in my older age. I tell my students research everything you use because your future boss may not.

If I am not able to get the nut loose with PB Blaster now-a-days I prefer heat for my last resort........ get a torch.

As for Picklex if my painter used it when I gave it to him as instructed I can say it works great so far, but you MUST keep the treated metal out of any moisture after treatment prior to painting. I like it because it appears to be one of the safest for both the user and the environment. But the real reason I went with it is because POR-15 has several steps of treatment prior to final coat of their paint and one step I wanted nothing to do with was "water" which I did not want to see on my cargo floors Wink

I have built street rods for years and for some unknow reason I got interested in a split window. Of course I can't leave it stock but bring a large background in modifing and updating drivetrain, brakes, suspension, interior etc.

My first car in 1990 was a '69 Malibu with a stock 350 motor, Old Chevys are cool in my book. Cool


New Malibus suck monkey balls.

my first car that I could legally drive was a beautiful restored '66 mustang fastback, followed by '65 mustang fastback and then a '67 mustang fastback, but as a kid I had always loved the vw's. I had a '65 21 window bus at age 13 but I think I was too scared to have it as my first car. oh well, I do miss my mustangs but my stable is now vw's only. Maybe when I retire I'll reminisce back to my youth and buy one more mustang fastback to put in my vw stable haha.
