I put the clutch & brake pedals in a gallon of vinegar to assist in removing rust.
I placed the hood outside on Styrofoam blocks, leaning up against a huge trash can.. I used some fine grit sandpaper to make it more smooth and then used an electric leaf blower to remove what I had sanded off the hood.
The temperature outside was above 60 degrees with humidity between 37% but not above 70%. The wind was only 5mph coming out of the north. So, all was perfect so I shot the hood with another coat of windsor blue acrylic enamel containing some hardener & reducer.
I started cleaning up the metal pieces of the front motor mount.
