GAY The ongoing saga of my stupid car.

Cool.

Are you still fat? I can't see where your neck ends and your head begins in that one picture.

Yeah, I lost 60 pounds since that picture was taken.

Now you can't see where my neck ends because I've got a bigger beard.

The bottom of my car is rusting out, how do I stop it from going any farther? Our fix it? Right now it's not up on the sides where you can see it, but there's holes all the way through on the bottom. Any advice?

Kill it with fire.

What do you mean by bottom? like the frame, or just the body panels?

 

[plot]

the body panels, right now its just the part where it curves under the door so it's not visible unless you look under the car.

 

[Valve1138]

Do you have mud flaps to protect that part from rain and snow?

 

[plot]

nope.

its too far gone for prevention now. just need to know how to stop it or fix it.

 

[Valve1138]

Remove the rust and paint it with a rust prevention type paint.

The only way to stop rust is to cut it out. Cut back to where you find good metal, and then weld in a replacement panel.

This is Ospho + lacquer, kinda like POR15. I haven't looked at the eastwood MSDS, but I'm sure it's just phosphoric acid for reduction, because that's what they all are.

Ass is put back together. The nose fell off the drying rack, so I have a bit more work to do on that. :/

I've seen guys in similar situations. Use that rust converter stuff, & then they spray black undercoating on just that bottom trim piece up to the bottom door edge. There's a guy at the barn that did that to his old Ram. His was red and after he fixed it up it looked 10x better than all the rust down there. The truck is now on it's last leg and the strongest part of the car now is that part that he fixed up.
