SLOWING down the rust monster..........
I have a fairly rust free '72 Duster but the passenger side lower quarter has some bubbles. This is NOT a show car and I do not want to cut and weld at this time, but again, I was told that if one could seal BOTH sides of the sheet metal that the rust process would slow down due to a lack of oxygen/dampness. So, my idea is to try and wash out that lower quarter with a light pressure wash from inside the trunk around the trunk floor extension, DRY well, then spray some 'Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer' inside and later some topcoating. Was thinking there was some body plugs on the inside/lower quarter panel, is there????
Next on the drivers side just in front of the rear wheel the rocker panel has some bubbles. Again, I want to try and seal the inside of that rocker- but dont know how to access; maybe they have pinch welds on the bottom to allow for water to drain out, but thought about drilling a hole inside the car under the rear side windows in the rocker so I could clean and paint? Am I dreaming? Is there any way to get inside the rocker enough to spray it out, dry well, then spray Rusty Metal Primer and topcoat? Any and all suggestion will be appreciated.
