What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Walchit]

I bought one for the gasser (just because), but really want one for my kettle(s). They’re just so damn proud of them.. I do have a kettle pizza though, and it’s pretty badass!

Yeah, $234 for a genuine Weber one sheesh.

A lot of guys run the "only fire" brand

It seals better than the older style weber brand ones that I have.
I got two rings and the little spike pieces and a motor at an estate sale. They came with a gen 1(stainless steel) performer for 40 bucks, and I ground down a spot on a genesis spit to use on one, and bought a cheap spit and motor for the other one. The only fire would probably produce more consistent Temps and use less charcoal, because mine just sit on some tabs and don't seal around the bowl of the kettle.

I want a pizzakettle, but I think I will just end up cutting a chunk out of an old lid for a diy pizza oven.

I got a needle scaler and some "rust kutter"(phosphoric acid) to treat the rusty parts on my frame, I think I'm gonna try to loom these last couple wires and get started on the rust today. I'm debating if I should paint over the rust kutter or just spray everything down with atf/pb blaster mixture so I the rust comes back it isn't under a layer of paint.

What is ATF/ blaster mixture?
ATF = Automatic transmission fluid?
Pb= Lead?
Blaster?

When I do Rost protection I remove the old loose rust and dirt, with a high pressure washer and then I remove the rust mechanically, but not with the needle rust remover, which is completely unsuitable in many places in the car, then I use rust converter to bind the rust.. Then I apply a suitable rust paint to the areas, if they are exposed to spray water accordingly to protect. After that I apply Fluid Film. I don't know if it's available in the US It's a sensational antirust stuff that's normally used for preserving ballast water tanks on seagoing vessels. After that i spray perma film from the same manufacturer on. That gives a hardened surface. this combination helps prevent new rust very good.

Hood hinges are ready.

I finally polished my car and treated it with carnauba wax.

I showed my wife the car and she said: Now you can sell it again for €20,000. That's when I thought: Before I sell her, I'll sell you.

As an experienced husband, of course....

I didn't say it..

Like new! Beauty!!

And that you mix with automatic transmission fluid?

Where are you hearing about mixing them? And for what? Context?

That's why I as a stupid German thinks. What are these great Americans which a able to lauch the James Webb Telescope, mix to protect a car from rust?

And because I don't know any American brands for rust protection, I wondered what is a mixture of "atf" which I only know as "automatic transmission fluid" and this "Pb blaster", which I already thankfully learned from @MassHoe04 ... Thank you...

Now I still wonder what he mean with ATF...

I have heard of spraying the undercarriage with ATF -yes that ATF- but never mixed with PB Blaster. That’s some chemists nightmare I think.

 

[nonickatall]

Ich habe davon gehört, das Fahrwerk mit ATF zu besprühen - ja, das ATF - aber nie mit PB Blaster gemischt. Das ist ein Albtraum für Chemiker, denke ich.

This is also a nightmare for the environment. ATF drips off and is washed off by spray water and ends up in the environment. A drop of oil contaminates 1000 liters of drinking water, they say.

I'm certainly not green, but you don't have to harm the environment through thoughtlessness either.

Some hillbilly on youtube's homemade concoction. All the confusion makes me want to use it even more... lol

A massive goose decided I wasn't done refinishing bodywork on my Tahoe and ended it's life taking a header into my passenger front door. Even tried to slow down and miss the damn thing...

Luckily I carry zero comprehensive on my insurance so I may get it fixed for nothing.

Maybe a good PDR guy can take care of it.

I was thinking that might work. I'm hoping I can find one locally. I don't know anything about body work so I have to trust the people around me. Might take it back to the same body shop that did my rust repair and see if they can work some magic on it.

Got my hood back from paint and installed so I’m back in stealth mode with The Beast. Also tackled installing my new column shroud which turned into a pain but it’s done.

if it had been fried all the way, I would think that the USA is the land of milk and honey.
