Can a newbie control rust? or Honey I Think I Finally Found THE Car!

if you got any metal left that is rusting and not rusted through yet, POR-15 is a Moisture cured Urethane encapsulant (thanks Bodyperson! ) that stops rust cold (need Oxygen to rust) It dries rock hard and can be painted. Use a grill brush and get most of the rust off the area and then apply POR-15. you'll never get it off so be certain you want to coat it.
