I have used both on previous cars that had some rust or pitting. The 67 Cougar had a vinyl roof that pitted the steel real bad, shot that back in 2008 and its been sitting outside ever since. Held up fine. Also used it on the 79 Formula, there was a big spot on the door where the German paint reacted poorly with something and flaked off. That has been two years since I did it, no problems yet.

POR has to be top coated since it isnt UV resistant, its just the two products dont always play well together.

Thanks, its needs a huge amount of parts, most of which I cant think of and wont remember until I put it back together. Everything inside the car was junk when I got it, all the trim that holds the headliner in, a rear window, drivers side quarter window, and quite a bit more. Electrical stuff is all junk on it, like the wiper motor, all the switches on the dash, and everything that doesnt bolt to the engine. The wiring harness I got for it is set up for internal regulated alternator and HEI so I dont need regulators and stuff. Everything else was gone when I got it or unusable.
