Re: IML: 196o rust treatment

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are pictures on my 1960 story page.

I used an electric grinder with a wire rope wheel on
it.  This removed the scale.  I then sprayed Rust
Encapsulator on it, and then primer.  I will seal it
with paint when I get through the last few items on
the other cars.

In hindsight, had I known about it, I would have
applied Rust-Mort by SEM before the rust encapsulator.

Car has been sitting in an open air carport with the
doors off for 2 years <Maybe 3? >and no rust shows
yet, so I am satisfied.

You would cover your interior with a tarp or other
protection if you left it intact, I would presume.
