Rust Never Sleeps!!! Thanks alot Neil !

Post by bottomend »

I found rust on my 74 bus. It's down at the bottom of the center section all the way at the bottom between the two jacking points. Put my finger right through it! It musta been hiding 'cause there was ZERO rust when I bought it last December.

I reached around the back side ( under the bus) and even that was "soft". This was all on the drivers side.

I went over to the sliding door side and found a little bit starting there too. It was OK underneath though.

What sort of options do I have? Dont be shy... step up and tell me how to fix this mess.

For crying out loud, skippy, didn't you just ask about this one thread up?
Anyways, rust eradication requires that you explore aggressively all the nooks and crannies, figure out where the engineers designed the water to escape, and you go there with your rust stopping juice.

No.
You will have a sense of satisfaction when you have completed your rust-eradication project. Heads up, the jacking points are the most difficult places to stop the rust because they are triple walled.
