Pat,

Looks well on the way!

How do you keep it from rusting when you are working on it?

Jeff,
After soda blasting the car and if it is stored (climate controlled)inside it will stay rust free for 2 or 3 months. Then after its power washed (with Hold Tight) its good for another two weeks!
Thanks All!

Pat,

It is nice you can do that.

That was a poblem on my schedule and in my garage.
I had a floor pan.  Ir got rusty in a few days with all the humidity.
