I had treated (painted) under the dash, the longs and the top of the tunnel with "rust treatment" After a week of it still not drying I went back to read the can to find out what was up. I had painted it with Eastwood frame sealer. It's finish is a tacky / oily finish to keep moisture out Under the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I feel your pain. I've likewise made errors that required significant back tracking.
Beautiful project. |

Next question, do I paint this red now, or leave it be? I will be putting down a fatmat type material.

Uses wire brushes and dremmel tool with a wand to get the rust off. Then vacuumed it out, wiped it all down with acitone. After it was dry, I acid treated the rust. After that was dry, I wiped it down again, I painted the entire inside of the door skin with Por15. I will be putting the fatmat type material in here as well.

Looks good, Matt. This car looks like a labor of love. Some day we will BOTH be done, driving, hanging out with cool cars and this will all be worth it. Right?

Spent some time sorting through the parts I have left to put on the car today. I did get the new stainless steel pivot shaft and new polygraphite bushings pressed into the trailing arm. (914Rubber parts preview)
