Barry, I would have the thing media blasted to remove all the rust. There is a lot more metal in those old vehicles than you find in new cars. After all the rust is blasted away, treat it with a good epoxy primer to seal it against the elements because it will quickly attract rust from the coastal climate down there.

Some inattentive woman swerved right in front of my truck trying to enter a driveway and dragged her explorer over the front of my fender damaging it pretty badly. I may be that it can be pounded out, but I have a line on a fender that looks to be in pretty good physical shape, but has a coating of med surface rust - I would like to use my original fender, since it was rust free, but if I have to get this fender I thought I would see what worked for others What kind of treatment would work best for coating the part after sanding down as much of the rust as I can? Eastwoods rust encapsulator, I have some of that? Remember, this isn't a frame or hidden part, but an exterior body panel - so it would be primed and painted - Thanks - Barry Schwartz La Mesa, CA (San Diego) [email protected] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires http://www.team.net/archive _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html [email protected] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires http://www.team.net/archive
