No rust here ... I have not coated the metal in anything, the quarters have been bare since early April and the firewall has been almost 4 months. I am hoping to get some epoxy on her at the end of the month, Holiday?

Thanks

Thumbs up Garage update

Not too exciting today... just finishing the fenders and getting ready for epoxy primer, still have to do the fender extensions ... and POR the surface where the fender and the extension meet. Bad news for the header panel - RUST ... so put a NOS header panel on the list!


Rust ...grrrrrr, scrap now!

Still need to get into a couple corner.

Scuffed the back side EDP for primer.

That's all for the weekend ... still getting something done when I can
Thanks

If it were a single walled I would, but it is double walled on the ends and the middle ....and the rust would come right back to haunt me. So to play it safe get a new one.

If that is an original header panel, then I would have it sandblasted. Reproduction parts, no matter who made them or what part of the car they fit, are NO WHERE the quality of original GM. Get that sucker sandblasted and prime it and you'll be happier in the long run. You shouldn't have to worry about any future rust issues if its properly blasted and primed
