It seemed like it was going to take forever to make some progress on my rust repair. After spending the entire winter locating parts, grinding, cuting, painting, and learning to weld, I was finally ready to take the plunge....

Also thanks to everyone on the board, I would have never had enough confidence to tackle this without this site!!!

BTW: I must be getting addicted to the "914 lifestyle" as I had withdrawal when the site was down. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Yep, I metal readied the hell out of it it. Then I used a spray gun to "Blow" some industrial rusty metal paint (I got it at the local tractor / farm supply store and it is nasty stuff used to paint old rusty tractors with, and yes there are lots of those in KY) down the long till it came out the front.

I opted not to use POR-15 in this scenario because I had no way properly prepare the surface and with the experience I've had with POR-15 it really doesn't work great unless the surface gets the proper prep.

Looks like you're making great progress. We need to get together for some shop talk soon. BTW, I saw a silver teener at Stuttgart on Leestown Rd. last week- must be a new car in the area!

Hello
I just spoke with the dist of Por15, for almost 2 hours.
For once a distributor that doesn't live in CA (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
I toured his warehouse and blabbed.
What kind of issues did you have, my tub gets a coat tomorow. One thing he was really explaning to me was that the top coat needs to be applyed between 4-5 hours after shooting Por15, if not you need an etcher, for after 24 hours of drying.
I have the degreaser, prep, Por15, and an etcher.
Again nice job
Cheers Joe

Well, with POR-15 I've noticed that the prep is everything. If you don't have the part really, really clean from grease or water, it won't stick and will kinda will scrape off pretty easily. Also it seems to stick better on a rough surface. The way I did it with the best results are...

1) Scrape / Sand/ Grind / Wire brush the part off till any loose material and ALL old paint is removed. (Leaving some surface rust is fine)
2) Clean the part with a degreaser ( I use simple green)
3) Rinse clean with water
4) Apply the POR-15 Metal Ready, let it stand on there about 30 minutes.
5) Rinse clean with water (It should leave a white zinc coating on the metal)
6) Allow to COMPLETELY dry (I mean NO water)
7) Paint on the POR-15

The finish on the parts I have done this way seem really durable. Any other way and the finish seems less than securely attached. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

I have not topcoated anything yet, but that is interesting about the etcher. I have noticed it leaves a pretty smooth glossy finish. I wonder if etching primer will work.

Jamie, Another teener, cool. Including yours and mine there are only 4 I know about in this area (One of them yellow I've only seen). I had not seen a silver one. My wife is getting ready to have baby #2 so I am little busy getting the house ready, otherwise I would have already hooked up with you.

red914, I know how you feel I was intimidated by the rust at first too. Now I think it is just annoying. You cant ignore it, but you can (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) it.

Why you should always wear your safety gear. This is the safety face shield I wear, and that is a small sliver of metal stuck in it. Am I posting too many pics?
