Welp....it was a slow going, and fortunately, I didn't have to worry about blasting the floor pans. Here's an action shot in my full "2001 A Space Odyssey" get up!
Due to the Hunnit Percent Humditiy here in Houston, the metal was rusting right after I blasted it!
Weight of Dave before blasting: 165lbs. Weight of Dave after blasting: 152lbs. That's a net loss of 13lbs. What'd I lose? Oh, that's common sense as to why I do things like this!!!!!
But the results are worth it!!!!! No more rust, no more grime, no more gunk!!!!
I decided to go with the Red Oxide primer look for a number of reasons. Mainly, all the early Mustangs I've seen that had the Red Oxide underneath always looks sharp with the freshly restored contrasting parts against it. Secondly, I checked with the MCA rules, and even though I won't have the car judged, acceptable undercarriage colors for all Mustangs as Red Oxide, Gray, and Black. So there you go! Decision made and now it's done. I'm diggin' it!!!!!!
Cheers
Dave
