Rust and Classic Mustang

Fireblade · November 22nd, 2008, 08:56 PM

I dont have a Classic Mustang, but I would like to know if you protect your Mustang against Rust.

BA Mustang · November 22nd, 2008, 09:05 PM

You could use POR-15. I don't use anything, my 67 has barley any rust on it at all.

zers · November 23rd, 2008, 12:07 AM

sand blast and epoxy primer

Clean the whole car regularly, and make sure all seals and weatherstripping are intact. That's probably the easiest way to keep it from rusting.

Fireblade · November 23rd, 2008, 07:14 AM

I thought the drivers would do some kind of complete protection.

MustangOne · November 23rd, 2008, 09:17 AM

What we do is take them done to bare a unibody media blast them, then seal them with self ethcing epoxy primer and the paint them.

Por 15 just covers the crap up.

Mustang one, I have to tell you, that green car is one of my favorite mustangs EVER. It has exactly what I've always wanted my mustang to have, the shelby R apron, and the side scoops, with the scooped hood...And add a crazy bright "nobody else has it" paint scheme and it's just an awesome car.

I also love your 67 427 GT500, but that green one makes me salivate every time I see it. What is the power-plant in there?

my poor 72 has rust

but one day it will be rust free!

MustangOne · November 23rd, 2008, 10:22 AM

Thx Steve,

Maybe we can get it a ROTM, that would be Crazy.

The Green Fastback has a 1968 J Code 302 4V

Mustang1 yes thats what Im talking about the whole car, to be sure to keep such a great Car for years to come. I also know Audi gives there cars a kind of zink paint or somewhat to keep there cars rust free.
