down under rust

yenrab · 05-02-2002, 10:45 AM

I am doing a restoration of a 66 coupe. It has a goodly amount of rust on the bottom of the car. I want to blast and then recoat the bottom to stop the rust as part of the repair and paint. We have a huge amount of salt used on the roads here. What are your sugestions for me doing this?

I am in the initial stages of a '67 coupe restoration, and I am encountering more rust than I would like under the body. Silver dollar size holes! I'll be looking forward to what you hear on the subject. Best of luck.

OOH, that doesn't sound good, this is making my '66 look even better. When I got it, all it had was surface runt on top. The bottem has none at all. Both rear quater panels need replaced and maybe even the doors. But I got it for $500, and only put about $300 more into it. But about 200 hours of mantime.
