Check with a local Rod Shop or one of the upscale auto suppliers in your area. I found a fellow locally that will take about any frame in any condition and blast it with walnut shells, prime and powder coat for under $500.00 US. He will do some welding repair if rust is found but he adds to the charge. I took a C10 Chevy pickup frame to him that was absolutely filthy, we were lucky and it didn't have an cancer, I went to pick it up and I didn't even recognize it! Well spent $500.00!

The motor, trans and drive shaft are out. I want to clean this one up, before I dismantle it. I could pull it to good car wash, with a tow bar. I took the '77 frame apart and cleaned up the pieces. Unfortunately, the frame was rusted through along the axle area, where the rear extentions were welded on. Safety bumper you know. My worry is that I will fill the frame up with water that I will never get out and the rust will start it's build up with gusto! I suppose I could fill it up with vinegar. I cleaned up my gas tank with vinegar. When I drained it and dried it, surface rust started immediately. What is the next step, after the vinegar eats up the bad stuff? Shoot anti-rust stuff in the frame and fill the gas tank with gas and never let it get below full, for any length of time?
