Hey Ford4v429

WOW! that's some info I needed ~ THANK YOU.

Here's what I'm going to do being that I'm new to all this great restoration stuff.

My '66 Ford Convert. front fender is off the car (plus lots of other parts)
And low and behold I took off some 10 to 15lbs. of heavy tar undercoating.

THANK GOD it come to me to use my Burzomatic torch and a stiff paint scraper. Other than the smell (i wore a face mask to cover my ugly face . . .lol )

Seriously, the tar-like undercoating came off rather easily.

I just order: POR-15 Silver. However THANKS 2 U I got all or most of the rust off the inner fender and I'm going to hit the area FIRST with: OSPHO than the POR-15

Tell me what you think ? I'm I on the right track ?
Thanks again 4 sharing your experience and strength.

GOD BLESS
