i still dont think your hearing what i was doing.... removing the rust.... if theres no more rust and its sealed up its not going to continue rusting away...
maybe i should just close this thread if people are so closed minded that they think that there is only 1 way to restore a car.. what if i were to take off all the bodypanels and make fiberglass replacements out of all of them, would i get flamed for that? and why would i get flamed for using fiberglass patching in areas that dont get any physical contact with anything besides a hand reaching for a visor... and patching an area that has been rusted away with fiberglass resin and cloth is a good way to do a patch, its in no way a way to do shotty work... only if th eperson putting the patch on doesnt do it right or doesnt take their time..
