'66 Belv II convertible trunk refurb:
I guess this mini project qualifies as a "do it yourself".......
After pulling out the cheap "carpet" one of the POs installed in the trunk, I was left with a trunkload of adhesive to deal with. Well, it took about a day of sanding, 2 cans of goof off, a bunch of scotch bright pads etc, but I finally got to the point to see what I was dealing with. Overall, not too bad....some minor rust at the bottom of the tub. Ground it all out and used a filler product called All Metal (great for those cases where replacing the rust with fresh metal isn't possible). It's not the easiest stuff to work with...you gotta move fast as it starts to harden in minutes. Sanded it down as much as possible and then coated the whole trunk with the Eastwood Brush on rust encapsulator. From there just put the finishing touches with the "new" spare tire and trunk mat. Overall, I was pleased with the results.......
Also refurbed the Magnum 500s....will post the before and after on those later.

 

nice work
how was that all-metal stuff?

 

I really like it. Supposedly it is waterproof, so probably more durable than something like bondo-glas for the long(er) haul. It's not so good for finish work, but for stuff that's going to be hidden, you can't beat it. Since it hardens so quickly, it's something that requires several applications followed by sanding or filing to get the results you want. I think the can was $40 if I remember correctly

 

will that stuff work to repair a rusted floor with little pinholes throughout?

 

It should work fine for that kind of application. My trunk had a couple of holes the size of about half of a penny, It comes with some metal mesh (like bondo) to deal with larger holes.

 

it looks great when its done, but i have seen it being used, and it is EXTREMELY hard to sand down

 

yup 24grit and grinder gets it down pretty quick tho...
