Davis, ya'll have different type of rust up there than we do down here You yanquis like to put condiments found on dinner tables on the road during dinner on your roads. We just get the salt air from hurricane laced gulf. Same disease, different strain! There is some newer products on market in recent years as technology continues to evolve that fights, kills and prevents rust however

| I have a gremlin shell here that was coated with POR-15 and I can take pics of the rust comming back thru if you like. I know others have had good luck but after what I've seen I wouldn't touch the stuff. Just my experiences others will vary. From: Plumpy72@AOL.COM <Plumpy72@AOL.COM>

Doc, I've had good luck with the product POR-15 and it requires only minimal surface prep. I used it on the front wheel wells, undercarriage, floor pans, upper & lower control arm, rear end and all the steering linkage. In a message dated 1/24/2009 5:42:38 P.M. Central Standard Time, AMC74HORNET@ webtv.net writes: I will never live long enough to restore the Matador like I did my orange Hornet and my yellow Hornet is still in serious need of some paint. The Matador is a preservation at this time. I have an immediate problem on the Matador that needs to be fixed. The windshield leaks and it has a vinyl top which is toast and with the bad winds this winter is pealing off. I was thinking of having my glass man seal the windshield and rear window after removing the vinyl top and fix existing rust with what ever and a rust encapsulating paint. I was thinking of a roll on bed liner to simulate the vinyl roof for now? Any comments? Also recommend a good rust encapsulating paint other than Eastwoods which is crap as I have it on my yellow Hornet. This is to nice a car & body style (2 door HDTP) for someone to cut up for the 360/727 and parts.
