Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
It looks good eve the wire gutter is in good shape. I only see a small spot of rust and that is fixable. God job on finding that piece.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
I also removed the pass side part of the cowl looked pretty rusty
in there then I hit it with the wire wheel and it cleaned up nice. There is some pitting but i dont think its enough to have to replace any of it. What should i coat this with before replacing panel? I have some epoxy primer and some self etching but I was thinking of just getting a rattle can of rustoluem heavy rust coating. |

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
I like your progress. I would hit it with some Rustoleom Extend or Rust-mort. They do a decent job of stopping rust. The downside is it smells bad when you weld though it

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
Rustoleom puts out a builder primer that work great. It dubles the paint on the surface. and gei this even slow down the rust. Did I say slow down well nothing will stop what has already took place.
