Rust repair?

[page2171]

Here is the deal...I have a 1962 Buick Electra that I have owned for about 14 years now. Because I enlisted in the Marine Corps shortly after buying it the car ended up spending about 7 out of the first 8 years I owned it in storage. It had some rust when I bought it, but the rust got worse while in storage. Now, I think I am at a point where I can do something about it. So, I am looking for anybody that has a body man in the San Diego/Orange County area that they can recommend. I know there are a bunch of guys here from SoCal, so I am hoping one of you knows someone that they would recommend.

Thanks!

btw...here is a pic of the car from when I had it shipped out here from MN.

Re: Rust repair?

I've been using Loctite Extend® Rust Converter (Neutralizer) on a '70 GMC motor home restoration that site at the beach and the western face is rusted and needs extra protection. Forms a seal of sorts from the rust itself
It works great.
Make sure the shop use something like this. Or just have them remove it all for a pretty penny.

Re: Rust repair?

Thanks. I will keep that stuff in mind for some of the areas that aren't too bad. I still will need a body man because I have a couple of places in the trunk where it is rusted through.
