just dulling down the rust is all. I may even end up throwing some clear on it or something.

Alright... here it is. The finished product of the CLR bath. I think it looks great obviously though it will rust up a little more as i drive it around but I think it looks hella cool. The drivers side was baked way more than the passenger side.

also got some accessories for her like a shifter ext., a cup holder, shift knob and slow moving magnet

yup that first drive is always the best. I have to pull the engine this weekend though. Need to clean some rust out of my tank. I also am replacing the fuel sender with a vdo 12volt for WW. Will be nice to have a working gas gauge.

also hauled a 62 panel home over the weekend
