You need a tank of water with some washing soda. Not baking soda! Mix a bunch in the water, hang your rusty item in the water.

Hang a separate chunk of metal in there. Take a battery charger, connect the negative clamp to the thing you want less rusty, and the positive one to the sacrificial bit of metal. Plug it in.

Don't...touch the water. It's spicy now.

The rust will come off. It's slow.

Thank you very much!

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

My apologies but, I am not the brightest bulb around here, compared to many of you I am like a 10W bulb when most of you are at least 80W ...

Thanks, but, many times, I have no idea what is going on ... I google it, I read about it ... This time, I was lost ... Now, trying to procure locally wash soda ...

You might try a swimming pool supply place. It's often used to control ph.

Getting there.





If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Nate, best way to work this dent out?

Long pick? Heat? Attempt to hire you?  :P

Pulled it mostly out with Nate's former stud gun. Smoothed out with lead free lead. Actual lead is easier to work with, but I figured I'm mad enough.

I may have put a few holes in it that I wasn't too proud of.

Due to proper planning, I practiced with the more visible driver's side and not the other side...or the dented to hell Falcon outside.
