The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

Thanks Joe, Once I get the chassis to roller stage I will finish up the bottom of the body. Dropping it on the chassis will be party time!

I got motivated after dinner and went back out to the shop and got the front rotors cleaned up. A wire cup brush on a drill motor and a D/A and we're almost ready for paint. I sprayed the rust I couldn't get off, like down in the vents, with rust converter. This turns the rust black and makes a good base for paint.
They weren't in real bad shape to begin with but knocking off the surface rust sure does help.





After some time spent with the D/A.

After a dousing with the rust converter. The inside face.

The outside was clean enough after sanding I will just wipe it down and spray it with the black caliper paint.

These cleaned up very nice and will look "almost" as good as the spendy coated ones once installed.

This is the rust converter I use.

I'll get these painted tomorrow and start working on the rears.
Thanks for looking!
