Chassis Cleaning.
Does anyone know the best way to go about cleaning and painting the chassis on a 69'? I bought some Marine Clean and POR 15 Chassis paint. I just want to make sure that I am on the right track. And also, to clean most of the rust off, is it better to just pressure wash and paint or use a sander or angle grinder then paint? Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Chassis Cleaning.
The nice thing about the POR15 is you don't have to strip it. A wire brush and wire wheel to get dirt off, then power wash it and you're good to go.

Re: Chassis Cleaning.
another very effective although caustic means is to use a good quality oven cleaner, it will loosen grease and oil very effectivley. just be careful of rubber and aluminum components and read the directions on the can.

Re: Chassis Cleaning.
Oven cleaner will also eat powdercoating. That stuff is far too toxic for my liking.
