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. |

You need to use an Awl and push in the areas that have some rust. On my 1969 build factory 6, when I removed the tar from the top of the pan and it looked OK but was not at all in the lower parts( recessed areas) of the pan under the seats. Southern California car garaged most of its life and in a garage for sure from 1986 on. There was no rust anyplace on the rest of car that we could find but I am happy that I changed out the pans so it would be perfect. I put factory tar on from George at AA, but PMB Performance wanted to put a different kind of modern mat on with better sound dreading.
I thought it was going to be great right there on the pan but no. We had to go into it for the clutch tube fix so new pans. I am going to show you a picture of the hell hole (not) so you can see just how not screwed my car was. Best Bob B |
