surface rust help

hey, i just bought a 71 chevelle in pretty good condition. no major rust or ne thing like that. But there is a lot of surface rust on the under-carriage. Whats a good thing i can do about the rust without spending much money. any help would be awsome. Thanks.

well you said its on the undercarriage. well i would take some sand paper and scuff the rust off. Then get some primer and paint over the places where you just sanded. that should be a simple fix. you may even try some rubberized undercoating if you are into a good look...

jst grind off the rust and then hit it with a good rust prohibitant paint

hey guys thanks. my friend gave me some rust converter to spray on and its supposed to help. so hopefully it'll work good
thnx

treat the whole thing with por-15, dont even have to remove the rust just paint right over it.

por-15 is great but I would knock of the scale and wire brush it a little befor painting you can paint with a brush but make sure to were rubber gloves..... you will be wearing it for a long time.

yeah im 17 so i have a classic mcdonalds job. i always walk in there with cured por 15 stuck all over my hands. i swear to god it takes for ever to get that stuff off!!! i did my floorboards with that stuff and i used the marine clean and metal ready stuff that they say to use and i swear its impossible to scratch off to bare metal now!!!

basically, if you have 120 bucks to burn and you want to make a completely rustproof car restoration, buy a gallon of por 15 and also the metal ready and marine clean products at the online store from them. i have an old chevy truck with floor supports under the floorboards and i HAMMERED DIRECTLY ON THE SURFACE OF THE PAINT AS HARD AS I COULD... AND IT DIDNT CHIP OFF OR SCRATCH THRU THE POR 15 at all!!!!!! i almost crapped my pants lol!!!
