  • 73 Cadillac Hearse rust issues... How To? (big pix inside not 64k friendly)

    I have hidden rust I can not really get to easily with sand paper... how can I get rid of it? Sand blast it and then paint on some rust converter stuff?

    I have rust hidden in between the layers of the hood and some on the INSIDE rear of the car I took off the inside rear panels and found some crazy stuff near the seams of the top and the rest of the body. The stuff on/ inbetween the seam I don't think even a sandblaster can get to.... what do I do?

    Also I don't want to bondo any of it. I want to get leaded body solder if I can find it cheap.

    *update Below*

    I got something called Naval Jelly Rust Dissolver to try out as well as Jasco Prep & Primer

    I cleaned off some of the rust bubbles and flakes and loose rust then tried to sand what I could but the surface is too uneven to sand. I painted it with the Jasco Prep & primer. That is why it looks the way it does. BUT what do I do about all the areas I can't reach into and sand?

    As for the hood... replace it with a dry Arizona or similar piece. Rust between the seams? well, rust needs oxygen to spread... so, for the time being, clean it the best you can, maybe use some sort of mild acid to help remove what you can't reach, then seal it up good and air tight!

      Paradox...

      Rust is always a concern because if you don't deal with it properly, it will return... The rust inhibitor or converter (a product like Rust-Mort http://www.semproducts.com/Catalog.asp?prod=164) will neutralize the rust, alowing you to then apply a protective layer of primer & paint... The advantage of these kind of products is that they have the consitency of water, so they will seep into areas that you cannot reach... Other people I know talk about Por-15 (http://www.por15.com/), altough it is not a product I have used myself... Good Luck...
