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.
