Hi Tom, I think you should get back on that horse, besides how am I supposed to keep inspired about my 66 Rambler if I don't have your project to follow?

hi randy.....im excited to see what you do with yours.any luck selling the chevelle?
i saw a camaro rendering in some magazine that had your name attached to it ....
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..
Tom,
I know where you are at. I've been there a few times myself. Some projects, no matter how hard you work, fight back. And, just when you think it couldn't get any worse, or when you think the worse is behind you, something completely throws you for a loop. These are the tough ones, but also sometimes, the most rewarding. Whatever you do, good luck with it.
awesome!! glad you are not giving up for good. I took 6.5 years off all my projects while I went to college. I graduated today as a mechanical engineer so now I get to start working on my rusty piles of junk again. hope it goes better for you from here on out
