My engine/tranny/shifter, etc. are out of the car right now. The engine is sitting with the lonely bar held on by two lonely bolts.
Should I have the rusty engine mounting bar refinished? Or leave it "au naturel a la rust?" If refinished, what is the preferred method? Thanks! Paul |

Well, it may not be too late, I don't know if the bar is actually painted yet. I guess it would be somewhat hard to keep it from oxidizing, given the type of metal it is. I just don't see WD40 keeping the relentless elements from causing surface oxidation away, maybe it just takes persistence on my part.
Maybe, just maybe, it's a butt ugly piece on the bottom of the car and it's meant to rust. Having seen so much rust on these cars, I want to stamp it out wherever it may be! With 182 posts, I'm still feeling like a newbie even though I have two stars. So, please move the post if it's better off in the garage... Paul |
