I can almost smell the etch fumes from just seeing the pictures. It must be good for rust, because boy it clears out the sinuses.

Thanks crusty, glad some out there appreciate my efforts.

Im still going to fish oil all the cavities once the body is finished with the final paint colour on it.

must be such a good feeling knowing its absolutely cancer free. nice work

Red with black over spray so you know where to sand I hope its not primered. I assumed it was an oil coating over the steel and not primer. I trust he has spoken to owner and hes coming from oz to drive it back.

I've heard that fisholene stuff goes away after time. Cavity wax sets and gives a more permanant barrier to moisture.

It is the best feeling. On the weekend I was just standing there looking at it thinking there is not an ounce of rust or bog in it.

nice work. after seeing that i'm going to do the same. it's easy to get all rust now rather than finding some later on.

Wow I am super jealous of that chasis! Great work!
