How to deal with rust inside quarter panels?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey guys, I was looking around and inspecting the torino, and I noticed on the inner side of the quarter panels through the trunk area has light surface rust and was wondering how to deal with that? Because I plan on media blasting and want a rust free car but does media blasting cover that, because its a pretty hard to reach place and also on the inner roof where the back glass mounts there is like a support bar that goes across there's rust up in there, does that support bar come off so I can get to that rust cuz it looks like its starting to rust pretty bad? Thanks for any help

	my painter just borrowed my sandblaster to get inside my rear quarters. its doable. when he finished, he painted it with a rust inhibitor. don't know which one he used. things like the inside of my front fenders, I just used a wire wheel to get as much of the rust as possible then painted over it with POR-15. I don't know about the support bar.

	Clean it the best you can with wire wheel or sand blast if you like a mess. Then spray with Eastwood rust Converter and top with Eastwood rust encapsulator. I am a big fan of Eastwood rust encapsulator over POR-15. POR-15 is a B*tch to clean up, has some bonding attribute that makes opening/saving/storing/using it a nightmare. Eastwood stuff seems to go on easier, doesn't act like glue and is UV stable.
