Yes , it just has a little surface rust in a spot or two . The inside looks pretty clean really ..
I do want to paint it with some sort of good paint for galvanized metal though .. Any suggestions?
Coating galvanized metal with paint is always iffy. I would etch it with white vinegar and apply cheap rusto cold galvanized in a rattle can. It will lok clean and newer at least, and not flake as bad as paint.
If your interested I made an intro video. I’ll win no Oscars for my performance.. And I mistakenly called it a 61 instead of a 62 year .
Almost senior moment there .. LOL !
Hose- dull screwdriver and channel locks . Gently work screwdriver in and around while also gently working hose back and forth with channel locks. Eventually ot will break free as you get deeper.
Dash- looks worse than mine did and I had more stuff
Hunny do project finally complete ..
Built an extension to my house porch and screened it in for the Admirals hot tub area .. The sand knats are back in full force ..
Get some quotes on having it spray foamed...I was pleasantly surprised at the price. I had my garage foamed and added the 24,000 BTU mini-split and it was life changing. Power bill is a little higher in the summer when I'm busting out a lot of projects, but it's so worth it.
So what’s the trick to getting the exhaust rubber pipe loose ? LOL !
The grab and growl method ?
Probably or wrench ? Gotta be an easy way …View attachment 374994
