Well rust is rust and is cancer regardless. Down here we seem to get
humidity rust so many times starts from top then works down. It's why I have
been telling people for decades if they live in areas like this with high
humidity, even if car is enclosed, garaged, warehoused, to lay a layer of POR-15
on roof before putting vinyl top. Putting a vinyl top on your anythign down here
is akin to putting big ass wet spongebob up there. A death knell. So vinyl tops
I am against. They might look nice and been factory but usually end up causing
more harm than good. Up there in frozen tundra, the rust is mostly
undercarriage.
In the RESTORATION file on my site, which is under some heavy construction,
the first topic is rust, and since 90% or more of my cars have been 68-74
AMX & Javelin thsi is what file is dedicated to, but concentrates on rust
areas, as got tired of folks asking me daily if when they were considering
buying a car where to look for rust.
believe me, it get shit old answering the same questions almost 30 years.
But I do it with a smile, hee hee and sometimes mouthful of burrito or
ribs.

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

take p! ics of t he 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.

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.

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 Mat! ador 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.
