Very nice work .I was wondering how you guys deal with surface rust in areas that are inaccessible after metalwork has been done for a while?

Thanks.
We try to keep bare hands off and wipe it with a little metal prep. Also if the weather is alittle bad I turn on the air so it keeps it cool and dry. Some of the pics show sum rust but the pic makes it look way worse than it is.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Got a few more updates. Ben plugging away. All the small details are starting to add up. Got the A/C dryer and A/C plumbing done. Got the radiator mounted and plumbed. Finally got the brake pedal finished. I had to make a hole new pedal and location because of the booster set back and pedal ratio change. Reused the old brake pad. The customer still wanted factory rubber and look for the brake and gas. We also made a great choice in stepping up the rear housing to a full floater. This was Baer Breaks first floater for a 15 inch rotor. To keep it simple and smart. I took the housing up to Frank at Speedway Engineering and had them instal the ends and true the housing up. Those guys up there are awesome! Frank is supper cool and very smart at what he dose. My wife took a couple pics of me and my 3 year old showing him how to weld.
