Thomas Paine I noticed that some pictures taken in your neck of the woods this weekend has most of the foliage already gone. Rain will do that and fast! Of course, here in Austin we don't see foliage... The leaves just drop of around the first of December and begin to come back out in late February.. -- JT Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 |

What you need is:
An anaerobic type rust proofing compound. Stripping inside a hidden area would be suicide to the part. Fiberglass-Evercoat used to make a rustproofing called: "System 3" Now you'd do fine with Rusfree's 1000-B Rustproofing, it gets into the tiny nooks and crannies. It's not undercoating, it's a mixture of urethanes and candle wax, which adheres well, and will not allow moisture to penetrate to the base primer that the factory applied on those fenders. Which was a cheap industrial primer in those days, just to keep the part from oxidizing on the shelf. Back at that time, we used to have to strip that primer, then coat with Dupont 70 or 80-S or Ditzler/PPG Acrylic Lacquer Primer. When there were no such thing as rust proofing, we used to use roof coating, but that too dried like undercoating and cracked. Only to allow water under it and cause more rust than if it weren't there at all.

Waxoyl is another anaerobic urethane/wax based product:
As is Ziebart and the former "System 3" Rusfree is a cheaper version of it. There are other products on the market, but most are franchised, so the costs are prohibitive for a shop like mine. I just rustproof repairs, and the cars done with competitive products have to be taken back to the original installer or another franchised dealer. I wish Fiberglass-Evercoat still made System 3. I was an authorized dealer. Refinish King "Daniel J. Stern" > wrote in message n.umich.edu... > > Just this past weekend, I saw a completely unrusted *1978 Plymouth > Caravelle "woodie" wagon*.
