78 Grand Prix project

Frame looks real good! Did you say that you're going the POR-15 route? I had the subframe for my Firebird powdercoated and after the fact I started to think about the inside of the frame. Eastwood sells this stuff made just for inside a frame. They have it in cans with a long hose/360 nozzle attached. It might be worth looking into before you finish the external portion of the frame. I want to do it on mine, but I'll have to strategically tape off the holes.

I've actually tried POR-15, Rust Bullet and now KBS Coating. I prefer KBS over the other two and that's what I've been using. I've seen the Eastwood video about that too. It's $20 a can and here it is on their site. http://www.eastwood.com/internal-frame- ... ozzle.html

If I can't find a feasible way to use what I have I just might go that route.

I've used the rust bullet stuff on my inner sheet metal (under the roof structure) and floors. It looks like it should hold up well, guess we'll see. I also thought I saw that internal frame coating in a can, but then you would have to get the gun, hoses, and nozzle for it to work. I also used Eastwood's rust converter and encapsulator with a brake cleaner can nozzle and straw to reach into some of the nooks and crannies.

yeah looks great as always. btw i like to prep all my metal with ospho. its great stuff to use. produced by skyco.

I never heard of ospho so I googled it...it's been around since 1949... :shock: Guess it works if it's still being used. This forum is great to find out stuff like this...

i absolutely love it. i have set of rally II's that i stripped back in 06 to bare steel that were rusted. once coated with ospho all the rust was converted and it turns the bare steel like a dull gray color. they say at that point its considered primed. well anyways those wheels have not one spec of rust on them to this day and have not been painted. they were only coated with ospho that one time. sitting in storage in my shed. and i live on the coast and we have really salty air. so i absolutely love it.

Wow it's really coming along nice! I have been wondering how that frame was going to come out..And your project has been a motivator as well..

Motivation is always good, especially with a long-term project. Here's some more for you, my almost fully assembled 461
