Yes Jack, I used my old favorite- Interlux Primocon. It is an underwater metals primer that is meant to be submerged, so totally waterproof. I use it on all kinds of things. Mostly outboard motor lower units, iron stoop railings, steel car rims, the list is endless. That tub was so heavy it was...

Well look at that. What was old is new again. Nothing worse than a dirty chain- you can feel it grinding. With the wax it is smooth a can be.

And I bet it still looks great Jack. When my Mom-in-law passed we fixed the house up for our kids to use. There was a huge old heavy cast iron claw foot tub in the bathroom. You know the kind- NYC was full of them. The inside was very nice but the outside was rusty and awful. A lot of sanding...

When I was in Germany I was impressed with the BMW shaft drive motorcycles. The Polizei used them exclusively. Fast, yet quiet. I happen to have a 1983 Yamaha QT50 scooter I restored a while back. Shaft drive. No slop. I didn't have to touch it at all. My 1966 BSA 650 used to eat chains. Here...

One thing I took home with me from Germany was a love for Suzi Quatro. She was tearing up Europe long before getting any airplay here. One of a kind for sure.

Thanks Jack- yes, that Interlux is good stuff. I used to have a 1976 LeMans that was ugly as 'ell so I sprayed it with the Blu-Glo White. It looked great, but did not last very long. I attribute that to my idiot wife and kids [destroyers of all things mechanical]. The labor involved in...

A few weeks ago I did another cheapola brush paint job on the Bonnewagon. It was looking pretty sad so this time I added a product called Penetrol. I remember it from boat painting yet my marine store did not carry it anymore. My local paint store did. It aids flow-ability, delays drying time...

Congrats! As I said, tough choices, so many excellent cars! Well done!

This is a real thing. Scary. But I do know some people that would buy this. It brings new meaning to the term 'base model'. Keep in mind it is NEW! Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
