[Chevelle-list] Chains
The use of chains when the 1960's flawed motor mounts break has been mentioned here recently. Laugh or cry: When I was a kid a mechanic chained the driver's side of my '66 Chevelle's 283 when that mount broke. Later I hammered the gas pedal as I turned a hard right at an intersection and a link of that chain caught in the steering column, at the joint. Held it like it was welded. I was suddenly accelerating diagonally across four lanes of traffic. Nothing worse than severe embarrassment happened, fortunately. But there's definitely a wrong way to use a chain to assist a motor mount. del '66 Malibu SS
Re: [Chevelle-list] bare metal( will primer seal from rusting?)
Thanks thats great, can any of you body gooruus confirm this info below. For exterior metal (usually the body) any of the automotive grade enamel or lacquer primers and paints can be used. However, a lacquer primer does not inhibit rust. If the part is to remain unpainted for any length if time, the primer will absorb water and the metal will rust under the paint. DuPont as a relatively new primer called "Vera prime". It is supposedly a polyurethane with an etchant that when dry seals the metal from any water. Thus competes a quick course in fighting rust.

Many are the question of the amateur. I have my 66 down to bare metal with most of the body work done. Can I have it primered or do it myself to keep it from rusting?(will the primer seal it?) What kind of primer should one use? Can you use spoting putty on top of primer? Thanks guys!
Re: [Chevelle-list] bare metal( will primer seal from rusting?)
Vari Prime or anybody's self etching primer is designed to chemically etch bare metal to both seal and aid adhesion. There should be no rust after the etching primer if you have removed it first. The metal prep I am familiar with is a rust converter, not a sealer. Once etched,you can continue working on the body. Just reapply afterwards to areas of bare metal. A PPG company, Specialty Coatings, has the etching primer in an spray can for about 8 bucks a can. This is real handy for redoing small areas as you go. Keep in mind that this process does not replace priming for paint. It just keeps the rust away until you are ready to prime and paint. Hope this helps.

Re: Re: [Chevelle-list] starter problem?
I checked the battery cable and saw that there was a build up of corrosion in the battery wire. The terminal connection was fine and clean, but the corrosion in the cable was the cause of the shutdown. After cleaning the end of the cable, the car started right up. It's hard to believe that this would shut the whole system down. Thanks for the help!
