Radrambler Project Is Starting Over !!!!!!

[Jim Nilsen]

Don't give up man.

If you could just put it out in a good sandstorm with the friends car that put it out in the rain you could solve 2 problems with one sandstorm.

It's a good way to find all of the high and low spots.

POR-15 will stop it, it's what it was made for and just about the only thing it works for. It really does take rust to make it work.

Some parts for my car had to be totally replaced because they were beyond rust. Thin air is hard to work with.

Tell me about it!!!! LOL!!!
So, what I did today was take the interest money I had made on my cd account I opened up 4 years ago, and opened another cd account with that interest money "specifically" for my car fund!!
Gotta have a back-up plan!

THANKS
TOM....

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.....

Hi Tom, still have the Chevelle. I guess it was meant to stay so I have it stored on the lift in garage for the winter. I am starting the 70 Camaro project & am really excited about the build on it. I hope to be able to post some things on the build in the upcoming months.

I have always used a product called Rust Seal to take care of rust that is too much of a pain to strip. See the pictures below for encouragement. Its pretty easy stuff to use, you brush it on, let it sit for about a half hour and repeat. Then hose off all the extra. It converts the rust to a primer like coating. This is must easier than stripping all the rust off those hard to get to areas. I have been frustrated to the point you are at, but its all worth it when its done. You will not even remember the frustration when its all done.

i have tried to give up on this build .as ive shown .i guess before i go crazy about some issue on the car i should consult with you guys first.
the start of the post was me throwing in the towel after finding my gutted car had ended up out in the rain at a friends shop while on vacation.so next day i picked it up and brought it home.i talked about this with several people.let it sit for a little bit.i really thought i had been given a sign of this thing is just too much. maybe it is but as i looked to put the parts on something else its just another p.i.a. situation.i have most of what i need for this car .its the little things that will be the parts that drag it on now.guess im just gonna keep trying.
so i ordered some stuff and sprayed into the areas where water went down/between to neutralize that situation.
ive worked the drivers qtr panel out to the point i think its real close . wet sanded it today to get a sheen and see how i did .its close, i need to prime and block it a couple more times before its ready for color...
so i changed the post title and im gonna keep working on it..
