Well most know I have been doing alot of rust repair, and I have gotten near the end. The hell hole has been replaced and motor mount. and long material behind the motor mount... I used weldable primer on the back side of the metal. But I'm guessing that after welding there has to be some burn off. leaving some unavoidable exposed areas inside the longs.. some one had mentioned this in my rebuild thread.. and It got me thinking. What would be suggested to treat or coat the inside of the longs, then maybe paint them? I'm picturing a long wand like maybe a Ziebart rust proofer would maybe use? make a acess hole in the front of the long and spray around in there and around the heating tube as well? could you use phosphoric acid wash first then rinse then maybe a heavy rustoleum coat? the excess would come out the drip holes? looking for ideas. Thanks for all you input

I'm jelous Veltror...

That Dinitrol cavity wax got an amazing rating in one of my old english car mags. They painted a bunch of metal plates with different rustproofig compounds on half of the plate, scratched the rustproofing with a nail, and then sprayed them with salt water for about 6 months....

The Dinitrol cavity waxes came out the best and seemed to preserve the steel on both sides....

Hmmmmmmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Mebbe you could become the go to guy for decent rustproofing materials...

Over here, rustproofing is non-existant except for a few expen$ive shops.....
