De-rat turding my new project bronco

[shamu]

This bronco last ran in 1988 and was on a farm in Paris Tx sitting next to a hose barn. It was worse than this a few years ago.

Yea they love all wiring but especially like to chew the spark plug wire down to the boots!

When your cleaning all the poop up put on a dust mask. Not good to breath dust from decaying feces. Plus rats can have bugs we humans don't deal well with ie Hanta virus.

That's exactly what I was going to say, although w/o the science

WEAR A MASK & GLOVES BRO!!!

Eee yow, what a bumper. Don't mess with rat crap, it will lay you up for a month solid and effect you for at least a couple of years. Took me close to 4 years to be able to ride my Mountain Bike again. Almost put me down for the count.

Thank you all on the clean up tips. I knew rat turds were bad but now I really know how they can affect the human body.
Again thanks; and purchasing rubber gloves bleach and some more dust mask.

Da'gum someone put an awful lot of work in that ole bumper .

My dad used to make some similar that doubled as air tanks in the '70's.

If you can get those disposable painting suits do so. Shower with anti-bacterial soap as soon as you are done and wash all clothes immediately.

The key is to keep from breathing the dust. Outfit your shop vac with the fine dust filter. Gloves aren't the big deal, keeping your hands away from your face is.

Put a hose on the exhaust port of your shop vac and get the exhaust away from blowing around you.
