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...

if it's the original paint, there's tar underneath that paint ... the tar mats were glued onto the bare metal, then sprayed over. that's why you see so many rusted out floorpans. once the tar get's old and brittle, it cracks. water seeps in and works wonders on the bare metal underneath ... take a closer look ....
