"Elwood" the 77_remix

[N2TRUX]

Since Saturday was "Fun Ford" day it was time to get back on Elwood. With the gas tank previously pulled it exposed the bottom of the cab, and it wasnt pretty. I have detailed the bottom of this truck several times, but never had a reason to pull the tank. Yuck!

I started with the frame rails and worked my way forward. With them sanded smooth, it was time to clean up the cab. I worked across the floor and down the rockers. The good news is all the grunge had created a nice protective barrier, and there was almost no rust.

You can see a couple of spots that were chaffed and some surface rust had started. I sanded it raw and treated it with Rust-Mort. I followed that with a couple of coats of satin black. This will be top coated with rubberized undercoating to seal it permanently.
