These were actually taken before the priming, but I thought they were worth it from a contrast standpoint with my foolish attempts to weld the existing metal back together. Now, I have a real battery box...
The moisture is from coating the box with OSPHO...I'm using that stuff on the advice of someone that knows a lot more about this type of thing than I do.
It's SO nice to actually be putting parts on rather than taking them off!
The NOS valence came in, and it really is NOS, down to the Stanpart label! Only one major part to come by now...a manual driveshaft.

It's best if you take as much paint off as possible/desired before you apply the Ospho. Ospho and the other phosphoric acid products are great. Keep it wet as long as possible to form a uniform dark grey coating. When you've got that coating, rinse the surface with clean water and immediately towel it dry. The coating left behind is a great anchor for paint. The treated surface under the battery is a good place to consider coating with POR-15.
Hope to see you soon.
