I’m presently working on our 1968 Mercury Cougar fenders. I’ll try the Lizard Skin for sound control. It’s a perfect COVID-19 project!!! Keep your videos coming!!!
POR 15, is the bomb. I painted my fender wells close to 20 years ago on my old 61 comet and before I sold it it looked as good as the day I painted it. No chips, just some fading. I made the rookie mistake, didn't wear gloves and It was on me for months.....
Number 300 Like! Thank you for posting info that can actually be used. Looking at your other educational videos, I became a subscriber. Oh, FWIW, I’m working on a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda. Your info is useful for any automobile from the 60s and early 70s.
I restored a 66 Mustang convertible and did a 64 Ranchero resto mod back in the early 90’s. To soften and remove grease, undercoating, and paint I used Easy Off oven cleaner. Then scrubbed everything down with paint thinner. Even the underside of the cars. Just don’t let the thinner run off your rubber gloves and run down into your arm pits. Not fun and very painful. I built a large version of a 4 wheeled furniture mover that the allowed me to roll the body outside on to a tarp and sand blast everything. Rolled the body back inside and collected the sand which I sifted for reuse. Even doing that I went through 800 lbs of 30 grit sand per car. Then seam sealed and painted the undersides, wheel wells, etc. before doing the body and paint work. Easy Off worked great, except for the mess. Just like using paint stripper.
Bob Ross would be proud. Jeff is there any special prep work needed in the areas that are galvanized. I don’t want the grind or sand. Great video, Thanks for sharing.
Didn’t know you could still get the old under coating. Sure seamed to save my wagon from rusting. Floors were mint after sitting for 20 years. Looks like you’ve got the factory seam sealer smear down pat.
Hey Jeff - again great timing! I’m pulling my suspension as we speak 😋 Can’t resist a few comments... - love the RRS eye candy in the beginning of the video - you might have wanted to do the Shelby drop before painting 😉 Great video!
I’ve been thinking of using lizard skin and por15/chassis saver. I need to do something besides just spray paint to the wheel wells before my ridetech suspension and SoT 13” disc kit for the 1968 Cougar 😬
I love por15 however, it is not cheap and you do have to top coat it. Once its been applied properly, the stuff is unbeatable in my experience. I have not used it on a complete frame job though. Also, about the skin the cat comment: I love cats, they are even better with BBQ sauce lol
1/3 cup of 85% phosphoric acid and 2/3 cup of methanol. Mix together in a sprayer, spray on surface. keep surface wet for about an hour then let dry. Prime or undercoat right over dried phosphoric mixture. You will not see rust there again. Worked my entire adult life in the Chemical field with many smart applications chemists. I've done this to everything that is unprotected metal and works like a charm.
Paint It Black. I remember watching "Tour Of Duty" back in the day and that was the theme song. That said, I just noticed that my spring tower cover on the driver's side is AWOL. Do I need to be concerned?
JEFF! PLEASE SHOW ME HOW TO PROPERLY WIRE PERTRONIX DIST WITH PERTRONIX RELAY SO TACH WORKS!! I watched your video but the wires cannot be seen clearly!! Pink to red green stripe and tach leads !! 1968 Mustang GT 390 4-speed
Por15 salesman told me to punch a quarter inch hole in the top of the can and just pour out what you’re gonna need and tape the hole shut that’ll keep the can fresh and the lid clean
Kinda. I've tried that trick with some success. I find the best thing is gang the work new can and refrigeration. The veggies taste kinda funny, but the POR 15 is mint.
I bought a 68 f250 a few years ago. One owner. The whole engine bay is covered with this black tar substance. Its sticky to the touch and messy when you touch it. Some places are harder than others. Have.to use a scraper to get the bulk then use a degreaser or tar remover to scrub it clean. Messy job
how dare you skin cats sir!?!?! not cool bro. and why are we using paint?!?! boiled linseed oil is the way to go. don't forget to throw the linseed applicators in the house trash hahaha i like the lizard skin. good product
@@AutoRestoMod one ours just got back from the vet $1800 dollars and 6 types of medication later my wrists and chest are full of love scratches. It's really hard to give cats medication. Yikes!

I'll probably never need to do this, but I still find it interesting to learn how it's done.
Never know!

I use POR15...Dang...I said I wouldn't say that....
I love that we are within a few weeks on our projects. Same car same stuff.
Cool!
I have been having really good results with Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer, leaves a nice satin black finish also. Seems to stick well to most surfaces.
Haven't tried that yet.
Cleaning is always fun. I can't resist cleaning parts, bolts, nuts and areas in any area I am working on.
And dangerous...that is why our Ranchero is taking so long. Lol
POR15 for the win
I shall not comment...yup.
Great Information as usual..
Thanks for watching

I've done that...it is very painful...unless it is your best friend...then it is just funny.
Nice job Jeff!
Thanks James!
Good episode....I learned stuff!
I am glad I can teach a master craftsman something!
@@AutoRestoMod Geez
I use a flat tip screw driver and tap slots in the bottom of the can lip and paint will run back into the can, the lid will go back in.
Done that too. LOL

If you need to grind, mask, gloves and long sleeves.

I channeled Bob from Hell, Michigan...

- love the RRS eye candy in the beginning of the video
- you might have wanted to do the Shelby drop before painting 😉
Great video!
Yep... but the plates didn't show up until AFTER we did the video. Our plan had been Shelby drop video, then this video then install...oh well.
I'm in the process of replacing the shock Tower on my Mustang and I'm debating on using POR-15.
I've used it with good effect.
I always transfer my por15 to a glass mason jar after opening. Much easier to open even if you get it around the rim.
I haven't tried that yet.

Lizard Skin is my pick.

I like to hit the remaining rust with Eastwood After Blast, then coat with Rust Bullet, then truck bed coat, followed by any satin black.
Good plan of attack!

Never tried that one.
Great video sir! I also saw in another video you hinted about a 70-71 Torino project....any validity to that?
That would be awesome
Yes. 1970 Torino GT 302 three speed. It is currently resting comfortably in Texas. I am planning to go get it later this year.
Paint fumes and double doobie holder = art
Great info. Could that Lizard Skin be used in an engine bay? Say on a VW Karmann Ghia? Is it a rubberized type product or does it dry hard?
I think so but call them to check. Be great on a VW for controlling sound and heat.
Jeff what do you think of using lizard skin on the outside and kill mat on the inside ???
I am going to do an episode on sound control soon. I have somethings to convey.
Question why not drill the upper control arm shelby drop holes and fill in old ones first before painting ?
Because the plate showed up the day after I needed to shoot.
Why not use por15 on shock tower as well as the frame rail?
I use it in a lot of places, but for now I am leaving it as is so I can make some changes to the car.

If it is the shock mount yes.

We have a diagram for that just under the wiring diagram for the generator to alternator.

Get a multi tool and use that to scrap!
Good idea.

That is undercoating.
Add another for Rustoleum Rust reformer with a satin black Rustoleum paint top coat. I mean its got Rust in the name for christ sake.
True. But I ain't gonna say nothin'. LOL
Just remember no matter what method you choose to skin that cat, the cat isn't going to like it.
Or the owner...
