Thanks again Andre! PY has some great people.

Well it isnt in bare steel anymore. I kept finding small pitted rust areas that might come back with just primer over them, and some flash rust that didnt want to come off with the DA, so rather than shoot it with epoxy this time, it got Eastwoods rust encapsulator. Usually RE reacts poorly with POR15 so I didnt cover all those areas, just a few. It seems to lift where there wasnt any rust, just bare metal, and that is fine with me. As long as it gets the rust taken care of I am happy with it. Tomorrow I will go over the whole car and see if there are any spots that need sanded down more. After that is taken care of it will get two thick coats of epoxy, then I dont have to worry so much about it flash rusting and I can tackle another project for a bit.

The last shot of it before it gets covered up.



This can of RE is red, so I will know if I have sanded through the primer while I am blocking this thing.
