Hi All,
I finally had time to get back to my '75 project after life kept getting in the way :-) I have about 95% of the car disassembled and have a pretty good idea of all the rust and hidden damage. The floor pans have some surface rust and a couple of spots that might need a patch (eg by brake/clutch pedals). However, the floor inside the tunnel has some pretty good rust that must be dealt with. Odd, but it look like water leaked just inside the tunnel and sat. Is there a good way to remove the tunnel to access the floor underneath? This is probably not a good idea, but can the floor be cut on both sides of the tunnel, removed, cleaned, painted, and rewelded? Any other ideas? Thanks, Dennis |

The Ospho won't hurt getting into seams. I wouldn't use a torch, maybe a blow dryer or heat gun.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Getting Ospho in the seams should actually be a good thing as long as the water rinse also gets in there to neutralize it. It will convert any rust it contacts in the seams and leave a protective phophorous coating behind. |
