The Panel is going to be great! ;)
I know of another claim to fame product for surface rust as well, it's called Gibbs Brand. Its only sold by mail/internet that I know of. You can google it or PM me and i will get the info to you. Its like 21.00 / can shipped.
Thanks for the tips guys, i will look into those products.
Reminds me of a guy that used to race at Lions on Sundays in the late '60's. A 426 Hemi powered '39 Cad LaSalle hearse. :)Quote:

Oh by the way, that panel is bada$$ there pro, got any more pics?
That looks nice and strong now John, and neat too.

some of those welds look like tig welds and some look like mig welds. not to bad for someboy who dosent weld ever day though. i couldnt help but notice the topic of this post i am doing a 68 chevy myself. quick question for you hot rod what is your rear floor made of plywood????? oh and good idea boxing in that c chanel frame. and my .02 to avoid rust powder coat.... i will start a post in a few day of my panel restoration
Yeah, they are tig and stick, been switching up to get in some practice, its been awhile for both. And yes the rear floor was plywood.Cant wait to see pics of yours, keep us posted.
Looks like you certainly took care of the stregth issues on the C-notch... Looks a heck of a lot stronger, nice work!!
I agree, looks very stout now, whats next install the front and rear suspension?
The link is not working for me.
I still have to finish the other side Brick, but that should be done tonight! Then im gonna blast the frame, or try, i bought a harbour freight cheapy, so i will see how it does this weekend. If it gets the frame cleaner, then it will be worth it!! Then its onto suspention!! Ill keep you guys updated.
Blasting an entire frame with a Harbor Freight machine is NOT going to be fun - either for you or your compressor.
Yeah i tried it out today, looks like its time for plan B!! Not gonna work at all, looks like me and the angle grinder have a long weekend together!!
