I do (seriously) plan on redoing it in the future. However, I am finishing my 54 and also just got a 68 plymouth satellite that are in line first since they are both basically road worthy but just need tlc.
The quuestion is: What kind of paint or product can I use on the top of the cab where the paint is gone due to the sun baking it for 51 years?
POR15, Krylon, or what? I don't really want to sand it down etc. but I suppose that is allways a possibility. I'm thinking of a cheap temporary fix to stop the rusting process.
Thanks,
Tim

For just a holding pattern, it might be the ticket. It can be found at auto body stores.

Nothing simpler in the world and no residue around to comtaminate when you're ready to proceed with the paint prep....... | | |
