I lack tools, experience, and garage space, but I'm stubborn, detail-oriented, patient, and the new owner of a decrepit 1948 Chrysler Traveler. The purpose of this blog is to track my progress, or lack thereof, in getting this car back on the road while keeping it original. If the engine turns out to be frozen, this blog may be short-lived . . .

Rust Removal Using Molasses - Report
After soaking for about a month in the molasses/water solution, it appears that no rust has been removed. I suspect this is because I used household cooking molasses instead of agricultural grade.
I bought a 1000-pound engine stand for future use. It was on sale for $70 and I couldn't pass it up. My friend Byron Richardson from Tillamook has offered to come out and help me yank the engine.
