My go to place for tri 5 used body metal is double nickel out of Athens ,Ga. I bought a roof for a shorty wagon project from them . Good people.
shit that was a really cool thread... but yeah the link isn't working too bad that was definitely worth a sticky....any ideas? admin?
I am no expert on working with Rust, but just seems like all my builds are rough from the beginning, so I choose the brushed acid wash method to neutralize and stop rust on area's that replacement panels are not available. First step is to grind off heavy rust surface areas, then use Prep and Ready Rust Remover & Pre-Primer in a Spray Bottle(Straight Acid, do not mix with water). Keep treated area wet with spray bottle and work with scotch brite pad for 20 minutes. Wash treated area with straight water and use epoxy primer as soon as treated area is dry. You can judge by the before and after pictures below.
Looks like you left the rust remover on the front fenders too long! Just kidding looking good ! One of my rusty projects. This after replacing the roof, both quarters. The entire floor from the firewall back and building both door jambs from scratch. Both rockers inner and outer. Otherwise it was cherry.
