Hello,

I'm a new member to the DACC and need some help finding
resources.

I'm building a '56 150 2 dr. It is a pretty original and rust-free car and
I want to focus on getting it running and driving so I can have some fun with it before tearing it down for a total cosmetic restoration.

The engine and trans are out and I'm about to change the rear end, so I need to have the chassis cleaned. It came out of the desert and has a good bit of dirt and grease underneath.

Does anybody know of of a place that will really pressure wash the underside very well? It needs a good cleaning.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.


I'm in the Collin County area.

Thanks,
GS

I don't know of any place that does steam cleaning anymore. I think the EPA forced them all out of business. You can rent power washers that do a pretty good job.

Thanks for the advice.
I was wondering why I couldn't find a place to get my car steam cleaned.

Renting a pressure washer is a great idea, only problem is that I don't have a place to blast it clean.
When I got the car it dripped a bit of fluid going up the driveway and my wife was afraid the homeowners association was going to have a fit.

Wait till they hear it with the open headers! Smile
