I have a 66 lemans and I need to remove an area of rust pits where the rear roof pillar meets the qtr panel. The pits are a few millimeters deep, and I want to repair this with minimum filler. How?

Either carefully sandblast the rust out of the pits, or use an acid chemical and saturate the area until the rust is lifted out of the pits. Dupont has a product that works great. Let me know if you need the #.
If the metal is rust free, there is nothing wrong with filling the pitted areas with body filler. It's not like the metal is 1/4" thick, so a layer of filler won't hurt. I would not use something like POR 15 or a "rust converter" on an external surface to hide rust. I wanna be a Chief someday.. |
