My 17 year old son and I have about 9 months into this project. Our first car, working together. Real 'encounter session'. We have the car running with many learning-experiences along the way.
1. Brake Cylinder - weird installation method, on our 3rd re-try, when will it stop leaking? 2. Valve adjustment - third time was a charm - man can this thing make noise! 3. Pedal assem - Seems OK.......then: let's take it apart and make it smoother. 4. Transmission linkage - All seems in Order, what are those bushings??? Hhhm, rebuild 5. Throttle Control - seems sticky, let's rebuild it! 911Rubber! Pretty rough looking after 45+ years Looks pretty grimy down there Had to chisel this out of the degreaser! Circuit Card has 20K and 45 years....REPLACE! All of the parts ready and accounted for,,,,,,,,perhaps we should buy a parts tumbler? Ready to bolt back into the Silver Beast! Big difference from where we started Attached thumbnail(s) |

I would like to add that I am trying to figure out the best method to clean parts. Currently we are using degreaser and then various wire brushes (steel and synth) which is less than optimum. Comments welcome!

I would like to add that I am trying to figure out the best method to clean parts. Currently we are using degreaser and then various wire brushes (steel and synth) which is less than optimum. Comments welcome! I have used wire brushes on a Dremel type tool. It is that time of year again folks for me to say those wire brushes can spray out high speed wire arrows. I know one of them added a piercing to my nose. Had it been my eye... but I was wearing goggles. I know that you would have been wearing them too. We all go to such great lengths to roll back the clock on the toy cars of yesteryear. Good for us, but be safe out there. |
