 Never done body work beforeI want to remove this rust before it starts to eat the steel. Any suggestions?
I'm not ready for a complete paint job yet, but figure I better do something here soon. Thanks Rick You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

Re: Never done body work before I don't think there is much you can do that won't look bad or require paint work. You really need to strip it down and hit it with some rust converter, or cut out the bad stuff and start over. I wish I had a better suggestion.

Re: Never done body work before Yeah do it now or you’ll be in my shoes dude. It doesn’t get better, easier, or cheaper.

Re: Never done body work before I think you are doing it the best way possible without stripping the tub. What I see in your pics is what I imagined as best case scenario.

Re: Never done body work before Thanks things are good. Still settling into a new life here. Trying like hell to get my shop done. It's very hard to find electricians and plumbers willing to take the work. When I do they want $2000+ per day in labor. So I'm doing most of it myself.

Re: Never done body work before “I also purchased a portable media blaster at HF that I'll try out too.”
RT[/quote] FOLLOWING!! I wanna know how that media blaster works out for ya? How messy? I need a way to sand nooks & crannies A buddy just told me you can use corn kernels as media blaster, but he’s not a body guy so who knows. I just cut out my old rear quarter and before welding new metal to old, I’d like to clean it up first & hit it with rust treatment. The issue I’m having so far is rust treatment seems to impede the welding process...so, how to get the treatment between two panels?!! I’m ready to install new b-pillars & quarters...last thing I want is to do all this work & see rimust come through the paint in 5 years.

Re: Never done body work before Mini bead blaster is "ehh"... Ok I guess but not real good getting in the groove. Makes a mess. Lol
Sprayed encapsulation fluid on and brushed it in the gaps. Another coat in 20 minutes. Overall there wasn't much rust inside, luckily. Primer on 48 hours after final cure.    Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk |

Re: Never done body work before Glad you caught it. I've acquired my broncos when it was too late for this sort of method. It's just great to see you save a bronco body!!

Re: Never done body work before Bronco creep is real. There's a reason mine spends so much time on jackstands. Besides fishing, that is.

Re: Never done body work before So, Adam inspired me to finish mine. It's still a 15 footer but no more rust seams!
