I hear ya on the hidden rust issues... I'm now on my 4th week or fixing rust, not all patching and replacing, but never expected it.  Looks like a great project.  These e-bodies rust in unusual places, to me at least, have did only b-bodies before.

Well not a whole lot going on. Saving up a few bucks to get the car blasted. I am hoping in 2-3 weeks I can get that done.. Took rear window out and what do ya know...more rust.. I knew that was coming though.. Did find a whole on the front drivers side rail I am going to have to fix..

What do u think of this inner fender?? I did the best I could to mimic a 70 inner fender.. cut some out and welded in. I think I got it pretty close. Can anyone see anything I missed?? thanks

Well it's a milestone.. Finally going to pick it up from the media blaster.. I finally have time.. This damn cold weather really sucks.. It's like -15 with wind... I will post some pics later when in the garage.. J

Well just got done picking it up.. Man is it COLD out there.. Here is some pics of it.. I had it done at a local place here.. called  RT Restorations... Randy and Troy are great guys.. They blasted exactly what I wanted them to.. some of it isn't blasted due to I know that panel is getting replaced.. why waste time and money when I am going to cut it off... I'm glad I spent the money to do this.. I see all the hiden areas needing fixed.. Like a small spot on rear frame rail needing some work.. That I couldn't see before.. I look at this and want to get moving on it but money and weather are really bringing me down..   give RT Restorations a call and they can help out on anything.... 920-921-6863..

Ok last one I have for now.. I have a question with this one... this is part of pass floor and was wondering my options of getting rid of this pitted rust I guess u would call it.. Hoping not to sand blast it, cause I don't know a place around here that would..  thanks all  Jason

anyone have any ideas for me?? thanks

I suppose the metal is solid enough to keep, sooo one of the rust converters would be in order.

[moparnocar]

Is there some sorta acid u can use on it to nuetrilize it?

[Bullitt-]

 Acids may remove the rust but also remove good metal, the rust converters neutralize the rust & seal the surface with a polymer that is sandable & paintable. You can purchase small qtys. at the local parts store if you want to test it or google "rust converter" & you will see many better options cost wise. Many here use the brand POR15 but I believe they are all about the same thing.

I love POR-15. It is awesome stuff. Been using their products for close to 10 years now. Wow I can't believe I have had my Challenger for that long. Good luck  with the car.
