guys

its so hard to figure out why this is happening.
i really was ready to finish the car but this killed it for me ...
it was a cool idea..now thats what it will be .
i have to do something ....i have my 65 rambler 4dr i could hang these parts on...havent been able to get real excited about that.but different.
i have a 71 chevelle rolling frame i bought to blast and paint and resell.
i could buy a new 9 inch housing/axles and throw my ls1/4l60 in and bolt my wilwoods brakes on that...wait for a decent body to come along...hell,i dont know .just sucks ....trying to change focus after all this time and effort
ive been searching local craigslist trying to find a deal on something that i might want to do.
im gonna sell off my rambler specific parts and make a little back to throw at the next project......i just have to do something.

Sorry to hear this Tom! But you know what's best for yourself. Hang in there!!

I felt exactly the way you do a couple times in the past. It sucks when you have to rework the same thing over and over.

When you start your next project I hope you don't take it to the same guys shop that left this one out to rust.

Come on.... If a guy like me can take 30 plus years to finish a car. Endure the health issues that I have occurred then this is just a small bump in the road. I'm a big fan of this project and you. I have been from the start.

Always take the positive approach. Look at it this way, better to learn about the rust issues now before body and paint were completed. Then you would have wasted some big bucks.

If there is a will there is a way!

hi roger

i didnt have a rust issue..i had areas that had not been exposed to weather until water ran across or between them.this was mostly at panel overlaps where you can get into with anything but liquid..
i have been given instruction to spray a product in until it runs between the panels and the bare now surface rusty metal inside the car.its supposed to be the answer to the problem .i hear builders use liquid rust converter all the time for areas like this ..i had never heard any builder speak of using a rust converter for areas they cant get to any other way.

ill try it .....maybe ill look like an ass again.....
