QUOTE question, on the metal ready or rust converter step, do i spray the entire interior floor with it, or jsut the rusty spots? i have enough for the whole thing, i just didnt know if it would be ineffective on clean metal If you are using Metal Ready and Por15, just follow their instructions. Gid rid of all the rust and tar you can, wash/clean the surface real good, then apply Metal Ready on all exposed metal. Let the the stuff sit on there for 15-30 minutes, and then wash that off with warm water. Dry it quickly (hair dryer works here) and then on goes the POR15. Follow the instructions on both containers and you'll be fine. Based on your the last picture you posted, it still looks like you can get rid of some more rust. Remove your E-brake and get in there as much as you can too. The tar will start to coat the stripping disks. You can clean it off by running the disk on concrete to wear down the part that has the tar, or just put a new disk on. Apply some elbow grease (make sure you are wearing eye protection and a mask to keep the dust out of your lungs) and get rid of as much rust as you can. As far as the seam sealer goes, get rid of what you need to get rid of. If it looks like there's rust under it, then keep at it. I used a chisel for some of the sealer. Usually if the sealer has rust underneath it, it will come up fairly easy. The whole process is a PITA, but on the positive side, if you do it correctly, you will never have to do it again!
