    Just finished clearing the drain on my ’57 Fastwin restoration. Soaked with vinegar for 2 days, then alternated between drilling with a piece of stiff wire and using the jet fixture on the pressure washer – that stuff hardens like concrete in there!

    You must have gotten a little wet with the power washer!

    Yes, but it was 97 degrees here today so just put on some swim trunks and it felt great!!
