BODY RUST 65 CUTLASS
HAVE MY NORTH CAROLINA 65 CUTLASS IN OHIO NOW, WHERE DID THEY AT? GOING TO RUST PROOF WITH POR 15? I THINK MAYBE YOU FOLKS HAVE A BETTER IDEA? THANK YOU FOR YOUR IDEA"S
The right way to get rid of rust is get rid of it. Anything like POR or others that cover up rust is a waste of time. If its just surface sand blast and coat with an Epoxy. If its rotten cut it out and replace metal.
Having had a 65 442, I know that they were notorious for rear window leaks into the trunk, thus rusting out the trunk floor pan, then working it's way to the 1/4s behind the wheels. Best to start at the top and work your way down. Check if the window is leaking. If not that's a good sign of a tight trunk, therefore eliminating chances of rust starting. Also, inside the rear wheelwells, at the bottoms. Nice to hear of a rustfree original.
After doing a complete inspection and you do not find rust in all of the areas mentioned by the previous two answers. Then use Por as a undercoat in all of the areas under the car, wheel wells, trunk pan, etc. Best way is to get your car on a lift so you can check everywere, this includes over the head lights. This is always a missed area. Same goes for the taillight area. Por makes a spray on product that works best with the right equipment. roll on or brush won't get to the hard to reach places.
Good luck
Good luck

NOW WERE TALKING, THANKS FOR THE MUCH NEED INFO, NO THE REAR WINDOW DOESNT LEAK AND ALL AREAS UNDER THE CAR ARE RUST FREE. POR? THAT CAN BE GOTTEN AT BODY SHOP SUPPLIES? SPRAY WILL BE GREAT AS I DONT HAVE A WAY TO SPRAY IT ON. THANK YOU GUYS.....JIM.. PS IS IT CALLED POR 15?
