Think I’m going to have to cross mine off the VIN registry.
Fuck, I love this car. Corrosion already starting everywhere the water made it up to. Going to hose it down with fresh water and spray some WD-40 wherever I can. Looking for any tips on how to preserve as much as possible. |

True enough. But how many of the flood damaged cars had zero rust protection like our cars? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

True enough. But how many of the flood damaged cars had zero rust protection like our cars? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Good point, but, I live in the midwest where road salt took a heavy toll on these cars and other non rust proofed vintage iron. In most cases its a very slow death as they rot from the inside out. Not like it will disolve itself in just a few years. A good flush with fresh water and a solid drying with forced air will be much better than leaving the salt residue in there and will slow things way down. If you want insurance get some Ospho in there, flush that, and then coat your self internally with something like Eastwood Frame paint / neutralizer and the death will be even slower. As Mark states, the dipping route really isn't all that cost effective. Would be OK if you're going for ultimate longevity and/or some sort of concours rebuild. |
