So with the longs open.... what have you used to treat and convert the surface rust inside of the longs?

I want to seal things up before closing up and keep it from rusting from the inside out especially since I will be running heat. I prefer a product that hardens/ dries completely to make welding up easier and strong.

thanks in advance!!

The car has now been sealed but in the process it exposed a few small holes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) the console on the pass. side has one on top and a bunch on the bottom so it will get replaced.

That means the pass. engine tray will have to wait. it will be interesting to see how bad it is behind the mount

And with all the dents and a PO that jacked the car up from the floor pans I think they will go as well. It will be alot of work to get them right and be easier and cheper to just replace. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Please post pics of the inside of your console when you remove it. I bet it is nice and crusty.

The suspension floor pans and console are on order but I will get lots of pics of the removal and the inside to show its condition.

More work on the longs and prep for the jack point. waiting for Eastwoods frame rust converter and sealer before it all goes back together.

Andy,--(Socalandy)

Beautiful workmanship (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I really enjoy reading the progress report every time you post. I am amazed how clean your shop is????

Merry Christmans to you and your family & don't work too hard over the holiday.

Way to go Andy! Such a huge project & we see so many of those go unfinished. You are making great progress on it. Your big project I think really makes people reconsider a project. It is pretty daunting dealing with so much rust. Seeing someone else do it is inspiring. Heck I have a 73 that is in much better shape than yours. The hell hole is bad to be sure. More metal work than I ever wanted to tackle. Still I haven't brought myself to get rid of it. Once I learn to weld I may just take the plunge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) .

Anyway big time Kudos my friend. I can't wait for more pics

So back at it today and lots of goodies arrived. Spent several hours with the air hose and vacume getting out left over media from blasting and preping the longs for the Eastwood rust converter/sealer. It really flows well and the fine spray nozzle gives a nice 360 deg. fog.

Stop the rust in its tracks!!!

the green stuff is the eastwood converter that ran out and got wiped off, it covered way better than expected and flows into every little creveice. We drilled a few holes to treat enclosed areas. This cars internal areas are sealed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
