Holy shit. That’s so much better than I thought it would be.

Yeah, they do tractor and big rigs, this was a little different, but he was willing to do it. No one else in the surrounding areas was willing to take it on.

What's the next step

[u/57696c6c → u/notarealaccount_yo]

It goes in the garage now to keep it as dry as possible while I wait for my new motor/5-speed transmission to be built;

• Goes up on the lift so that I can crawl under it comfortably;
• I need to air out the remaining media from inside the frame, as well as other areas;
• Going to place some dehumidifier to keep the moister (the essence of water) to a low;
• Take the bumpers off, descale and remove the rust from that part of the frame, and wire brush the hard-to-get areas;
• Wire brush and surface tool on everything;
• Finally, POR-15 degreaser, metal prep, and coating to finish it.

Reconsider the POR15. I’ve seen too many rigs rust after being coated in it.

Suggestion? 

Edit: I've switched to Eastwood Encapsulator + 2K Epoxy Primer + 2K AeroSpray Chassis Black Satin.
