1972 Duster Project - Back From The Pasture

ESP47 said

Hey I have a question. How did you go about prepping the trunk? I'm currently attempting it on my Barracuda and it just seems like a never ending project. Feels like cleaning the trunk well enough for paint is going to take as long as the rest of the build combined. Any tips on how you got it all prepped? Especially in the hard to reach areas like the wheel wells and all that.

You're not kidding. Ours had pretty deep surface rust on the low areas but not rotten. We spent a day or two wire wheeling the **** out of it then painted the rust areas with POR 15, then Raptor liner over that. If you're going to paint it like factory, it's a **** ton more work. We cut a corner with it due to schedule. Still looks great today. Hard as a rock.
Kueneman may have something to chime in with here, not sure what condition their trunk was in.
