You can get other shapes of wire brush to fit your drill other than a wheel.
Also have on hand a couple of shapes of manual wire brushes. If you go to a
paint store, I think Dutch Boy stores have it, there is a product named
Phos-Phor that is phosphoric-based and is designed to neutralize rust and
form a black coating over it. After this neutralization, a rinse and dry
(Very dry), I like to spray the whole thing with rubberized undercoating
prior to painting it. This not only seals it well, but helps with
soundproofing a bit. A mechanic friend of mine who has disassembled
probably hundreds of these cars claims that those that have undercoating on
the floors have significantly fewer floorboard rust problems on the inside.
He is also looking at using that spray-in truckbed liner and seems to think
that might be even better.
