My Rust Diary
(oh the horror)
Last up-date; June 8, 2009
Big news; I sat in my car!! This is the first time (in 8 months) that I've had a floor.
To start off;
I'm not a professional bodyman. This is a "diary" and not a "how-to". It's just how I decided to do it.
There will be some photos here that I "borrowed" from other sites. I didn't ask permission, so if they are your photos and you have a problem with it, please contact me. I will post where I got the photo from.
Links to other "rust removal" pages.
Jeff Hail's "bringing out the dead" This shows some extreme work done by a professional (retired??)
Michelko's "digging into hell" I get the impression that Michelko isn't a professional bodyman, but he does top quality work and doesn't cut corners!!
