So after a few helpful (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alfred.gif) from members this past week, I've started dealing with the rust on my '75.
I'm sure, as some have said, that this will turn into a complete resto (read: obsession), but I'm starting with the small stuff, and hoping to take what I learn from that into the bigger parts of the project. I took a bunch of 'before' pictures, which I'll try to post at some point, maybe a blog... First up, the trunks. Pictures are easier than a full description, so here you go: The red sled...

You only need to brush the loose stuff off. A rough surface actually helps the POR-15 to bond (dis-regard that comment if you have CW intentions).
I think they say 1:1 water and marine clean. As yes, just mop out with a sponge or some such. A heat lamp does wonders to aid in drying. Repeat with the Metal Ready (but no dulution IIRC). If it were my car, I would just use a filler product for those tiny holes. But welding can be fun. enjoy the madness (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
