64 gmc first steps
I'm just getting started on this project, first I need to stop the rust. I'm in the process of building a shop but that could take awhile. I haven't done any body work since the 80's and I was wondering what products are out there now to provide rust protection for the inner cavities on these fenders.

Re: 64 gmc first steps
Well you can either take ALL the rust off with a mechanical method and then apply anything from paint to undercoat. or you can use a rust converter applied over the de-scaled rust. This will not protect non rusted areas. Of course you must replace all rusted out sections with new metal as you are doing.

Re: 64 gmc first steps
I've heard decent results about Eastwood's rust converters. Ultimately the best method is fully removing it and reapplying paint.
Funny thing about undercoating is I found more rot in the areas undercoated than the areas painted in the process of restoring my 66. POR15 is a high quality rust resistant paint that people have been very pleased with. I only have experience with eastwood, but I've been told by professionals that por15 is the way to go. Food for thought.

Re: 64 gmc first steps
Haven't had much time to work on it lately but I did get the patch panels ready to weld in. Ordered some por 15 from Amazon but now I'm going salmon fishing so it's going to be put off for 2 more weeks. By the way, I'm used to doing this with air tools and I was pretty leery about using a cheap tool shop cut off tool but that thing is very capable. Especially for around 20 bucks.
