HA! At least I have one to cruise around in. The 68 except for idling high rules!!! I thought Marks was over. I missed it last night and could not have gone anyway due to a Cub Scout pack meeting.

I try to do the best I can with the detail work, but the only real thing that ever really gets me is rust. I just hate it.

Rust Edit: On the inner fender, I ground off most of the surface rust with a 3M SandBlaster 9681 4-1/2-Inch Coarse Clean-N-Strip Disc: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BQURDI

Then, for the spots I couldn't reach, I used Ospho.

I read in a whole bunch of postings that:

a) when you use Ospho, you shouldn't use an etching primer
b) when you are primering bare metal, you should not use Eastwood Rust Encapsulator paint
c) use an epoxy primer

For epoxy primer, I went with Spray Max Epoxy Primer: http://www.eastwood.com/spray-max-ep...r-aerosol.html
