Given this former Cali car is coming up on 50 years and probably not always taken good care of, I am lucky to have this level or rusting. I went after it with Ospho, wire brush and clean rinse. Will be applying POR 15 to this area. Question: my gut tells me the well adhered tar is sound and is not hiding any rusting. |

Looks pretty good but playing devils advocate - an oscillating multi-tool with a scraper blade takes the tar off pretty easily. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

. . . yes there is rust under what appeared to be well adhered tar. Yup! In a plain steel, pre galvaneal, pre e-coat world, whatever humidity was in the plant is what got trapped between the tar, and paint. This is why there is no such thing as a rust free 914 and why it is said that 914’s came from factory with rust. Well on your way to not being DAPO.
