" " Slide it into the channels - drill some holes where necessary " & use body plugs. " " I'd rinse out the channels & sub frames with the rust remover " I'd posted awhile back - this way - no rust anywhere - " long life for the vehicle. this stuff is phosphoric acid based, right? this is a very common first step, for example martin senour's 'iron etch', and also a very common metal prep before welding, as you can weld through the iron phosphate layer the acid leaves. btw this layer isn't very strong but is a water barrier. if it were me, i'd see if i could follow the phosphoric acid step with a zinc phosphate rustproofing primer like senour's 'triple etch', then something like rustoleum or a zinc-rich paint. i admit getting this stuff into all the nooks and crannies properly would be even harder than the initial phosphoric acid wash. " Been reading on some top dollar Porsche 356 restorations. " These cars are all 'uni-body' made up of channels & panels. " " Not one did anything to protect the interiors of channels - " longitudinals - windshield surrounds - etc. - a few did " the 'dip tank' thang too....... " " Fifty Thousand dollar restorations are going to be junk " in twenty years.......Porsche didn't galvanize until 1977. porsche 914s are in a similar state - desirable cars now mostly junk due to rust. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought <> No, no - nopie nope - it isn't phosphoric acid based - and I've worked with that CRC rust remover / phosphoric acid on my '72 AMX - and hated it. It doesn't perform uniformly, it builds in deep rust without the conversion being complete - just a mess. http://tinyurl.com/2qclyf I just got off the phone with the owner 'Dwight' - you call him Andrew.......... you're our Resident Scholar & this is something for the Files. www.safestrustremover.com Home Depot has the Best Sprayer for this: 'Twin Circle Sprayer' by Sun mate Recommended by 'Dwight'. Everyone - please check out this Site ! For Paint: www.corroless.com This companys' products are used on the NORTH SEA OIL RIGS - with one product that emits rust killing vapors - used in channels and electrical boxes etc. If you're interested - FAX them a request for their FREE CD product line - or phone, they don't respond to eMails at all. In my 'humble' opinion - this is the only way to go. You need to be able to service damage to a vehicle - God Forbid - but sometimes his Server is backed up.. With a Bedliner or POR 15 [belch..] you need a GRINDER to take it off - adding to the damage..... -- Brien NEW YORK eagle registry #501 eagle kammback registry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
