      We will get it roadworthy, and hopefully someone else will come along that will enjoy it.

    Great job on the cleanup. Some of that stuff looked nasty. Really makes me miss my 52

      Thanks Paul. It was nasty, but it was way better than the Chevelle in Illinois. Now that one was horrible inside.

    Richard, if you use 0000 Steele wool on the exterior with some remover onsmall patches everytime you'll get the pint bck nd then use products tht get applied on fora satin or gloss finish to protect the patina. You got a great woman with Christina; not many women help, encourage and shre in their husbands' hobbies. Areyougoing to repair the floors nd truck once it runs?

    • @whattherust
      @whattherust  Před rokem

      Thanks for the tip Al. I'll try the 0000 steel wool. I'd like to get all of that gray primer off, and then preserve the finish. Yes, I'll be repairing the floors. I have the metal, but I need to find a nice cheap welder.
