Hey guys I need some advise. I've been cleaning up rust on the floorpans of my 71 barracuda convertible using POR 15 then prime and painting it but now I have also found rust all over slapstick gear shifter mechanism. I think I can use the same POR-15 to clean up the parts but how do I seal the...
Thanks. Im learning there are a number of phosphoric acid brands that could do the job but it comes down to how well the metal is prepped that makes all the difference. Thanks again. Your info is very helpful.
Thanks, we are thinking along the same line. I've heard of POR-15 and Rust Bullet but have no experience so your insight is much appreciated. I've grinded all the flakes and heavier rust already so what the pics show is what has come back in the 2 months I took a break from the project and it...
I've got a similar challenge with surface rust on the rear floor pans of my 71 barracuda convertible and needs some advice. I've grinded and sanded it down but still have some work to do. My plan is to coat the bare metal with a rust inhibitor or rust converter then top coat it with Y8 gold leaf...

Thanks for the Dante nod. I did speak with Dante and you are right - 6 weeks for the rear panels and 19 weeks for the seat covers. Better put my order in...
Thanks for the welcome. I love this car and understand the value of a survivor so your caution isn't falling on deaf ears. Im gonna start with the restoration before I do any modifications
Nice! From your pic it looks like the interior is all new. Did you piece meal it or did you buy a kit like the one from Dante's? Im looking at replacing everything from the carpet on up. Did you find a great supplier and or one I should avoid.
Hey Guys, I’m new to this forum and would love pick your brains on a restoration project I’m just starting. A little back story: So I bought this ‘71 barracuda convertible back in 1978 when I turned 18 and needed a ride of my own. Its been with me thru college, marriage, fatherhood...
