During all this time I also degreased, cleaned, and wire-wheeled the entire frame in my driveway. Not fun. Then I painted the frame with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator and gave it a second coat with semi gloss Rustoleum. The front 1/2 of the frame was really nice but the rear 1/3 or so if it had very rough surface rust. No heavy scale, though. The bed crossmembers are shot, though.




Take note of the rear brake line. It had heavy, scaly surface rust and was about to go.
