All of the above is good info. Remember the ospho stuff really screws up concrete, I know from previous treatments on my stuff. Also I find it really hard to flush the ospho off if you let it dry it gets really crusty and a reapplication of ospho helps but usually adds to the mess.
my 914 will not be a stock restoration although at this time I expect the longs to be really very good. I have bought all the stiffeners I have found to add to the car. I am still considering opening the bottom of the longs and adding a 2x3 or 4x4 whatever will fit tube with the bottom cut out to form a tunnel for cooling tubes. I may make the car into a rodster and really need to stiffen the longs for the support. i have been using por 15 a long time and sometimes if the surface is not really clean you will be wasting your money. The wax might be a better solution in the longs. Be sure all the welding has been done. burned metal is really susecptable to rust. |

This is the stuff! I have used this for over 10 years on marine and auto applications. Fluid Films has a sweet smell just like a freshly Ziebarted car.

Hey, Perry---
I did watch all your historic threads!!!! I did follow the information gleaned from you indirectly and your technique is exactly what I followed. If anyone knows how to prevent rust in these cars, Perry Kiehl is the one who knows. Good to see that you are still around. Steve Hurt |
