Howdy,
Years ago, a buddy and I started to rebuild our 2001 CP car (autocross
car) to be a class leader, and then due to various things (a big one being
me being a lazy b*stard), its lanquished in a half finished state for
quite a while.
The basic tub got finished, but we never painted the cage, etc. After five
years or so, its now got a coating of surface rust over everything.
My wife Laura mentioned to me yesterday that it would be neat in a few years
for her & I and our young son (hence the "few years") to finish the car.
Anyway, I'm wondering what I can do with the car to keep "light surface rust"
from turning into "this is a pile of junk"... I'd like to get the surface rust
removed, then paint everything with primer or whatever, something that will
keep the car from rusting while it sits outside under one of those "temporary"
tarp/plastic garages with an open floor (on asphalt).
I've heard of acid dipping, sandblasting, or ?? Any recommendations for an
affordable way to get the surface rust removed from a welded in cage in a car?
I don't think a wire brush is going to either do a very good job or get in all
the cracks & crevices.
Its a (very basic) rolling chassis. There aren't any rubber or plastic or
whatever components on it that can't very easily be removed to make it all
metal.
Thanks!
Mark
