Thanks Ken...I think Verne would kill me if I messed with the underside !! Its pretty nasty but every inch is untouched original 8700 miles with a nice coat of rust. You can't just do a little...you gotta go all the way once you start. [/ QUOTE ] Those 8700 mile cars are sort'a "Special" (even if they have "Truck" engines) and maybe shouldn't be touched...........LOL Ken

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
The Floor Pan is just about done.....that Red Clay is a Pain to wire brush out of all the nooks and crannies....Scotch Brite tomorrow and give it a light coat of chassis black, when it gets back from the body shop I'll give it the final detailing........

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Also .....Had a little set back today........I took the Grill Assy apart and was cleaning all of the Red Clay dust that had discolored the back side of the Grill over the years........the Grill was perfect......I used Royal Purple Degreaser and with a lot of scrubbing it cleaned up pretty good......after rinseing it off I turned it over and this is what was waiting for me
 The cleaner must have a mild acid base to it and it seems to have attacked the anodizing.....time to strip and re-anodize.......So if you use this stuff around aluminum  .....be careful.........Ken

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Ken,

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Ken,
If there was slight surface rust in the nook and crannies, like between spot welded floor supports, I'd suggest spraying a rust converter, like Permatex Extend in all those areas. It will convert the iron oxide into iron sulfate (black), which will never again allow moisture or oxygen to reach the hidden metal. You can paint right over top of it, no prep. Verne

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Ken,
Don't forget to paint thinner all areas before spraying... Good looking floors and thanks for the advice on the aluminum.
