Hi All
Just completed my 71 Stag strip down page, with all the discussion about body
work, I
thought I would share with y'all how I treat surface rust. Go to
http://www.spitfires.iwarp.com/ Select the Strip down button under 71 Stag
and then
click "See Rust Prep" I use to work in Auto Body years ago. I did have to
re-learn
about all the new nifty paints, primers and thinners.
And I'll tell you , Prices aren't what they use to be!
THnx
Pat
