Re: need some ideas on rust

my idea on rust is that it is very bad.

ok now the bs aside. rust must be completely removed or it will come back. you have to sand down to bare metal and then some.

dont just cover the rust up - it will still be there and will still grow. its eating your car.

and look beyond the parts you see - sand down to bar metal all over the area. anyplace there is a hole with a rivit or bolt in it, or metal screw.

i sure do love living on the west coast - we may have smog ****'s but no rust.
