Before wire wheeling the loose rust and applying Rust Mort.
After Applying Rust Mort. Still have to do 2 more coats, wipe off then patch holes. After I will paint it with Rust Shield(POR 15 Equivalent).

Well here are some updated pics finally. The weather has been horrible, rain has hindered progress being I have no garage and have to keep it covered when it rains. But The trunk and inside including behind the dash is sealed up and rust shielded. Just put the seam sealer down yesterday now on to the front fenders for minimal body work then the roof and I can finally paint it. I am going with Eastwood black primer being they offer a kit that comes with 2 gallons plus the hardener. Might leave it black primer or buy the rat rod flat black paint from eastwood. Any suggestions on how I should go about painting it whether to clear it or not being the paint is urethane and does not require clear coat would be appreciated.

Its actually an airbrush stencil I taped it up and sprayed it on. Yea it drives great I want to upgrade the 2bbl to 4 bbl looking for the best intake and carb combo leaning towards a holley for carb and edlebrock or holley for a intake manifold. Any suggestions, it's the 383 one.

Your car is looking good. I have 2 '68 Newports I'm working on (one's a driver and the other is a complete rebuild project), so it's nice to see how to do the stuff I'm going to be doing as soon as the weather allows.
