67/68/69 cuda dilemma
I took some of this stuff to work. Got most of the scale off it. The think the LH water channel with the vin # will be fine with minor repairs to both ends. The good unpitted parts of it measured .035" thick. The rusted areas the lowest I got was .034". Most of the rust damage being on the quarter skin itself which was paper thin.
To get the really hard rust off that the sandblast wont seem to touch, I am employing white vinegar and a soak. Bought several bottles of it at walmart, and an inexpensive 36" long window box planter at lowes. Its soaking now through the next 8 days. It will remove the rust and leave clean pitted steel. Some of the areas on the car body are going to be just as stubborn. For that theres naval jelly.
