Re: GOT a Zookie!
Busy, busy , busy. The Wifey is out of town so I got some time to spare in the shop in the evenings
Yesterday I stayed after work and sandblasted some rusty hardware that would fit in the blasting cabinet. Battery tray, foot peg mount, side stand, brake and shifter levers. The remaining chrome was shot on all but the foot pad on the brake lever, so I will most likely mask that portion off because however I coat this part of the pedal, I am sure that would wear from use...
Then tonight when I got home I tackled the original rusty tank by using a method I originally saw on SOHC4.com and then again in the $50 Mod Thread here... and my tank was unusable the way it was so what the heck.
Bought a bottle of "The Works" toilet bowel cleaner, box of baking soda, and rubbing alcohol. All items were $3.00 total.
After the de-rusting I coated it with Marvel Mystery Oil I had here.
Sorry, no pics but trust me, this works GREAT, I was left with a shiny galvanized appearance inside the previously unusably rusted tank.
