That's a pretty solid car. Some rust but t doesn't look detrimental. Keep going. Do not let it turn into a garage queen.

Lovin' that finish you're getting with the POR15

Is that straight off a brush?

Short term plan just to get it to a Presentable/Reliable state, Long term plan Cruise/Track car.

Kev- POR15 is brush on, you can spray it but highly toxic. The consistency is like water so its hard for it not to run. Once you get the hang of it, its easier to control. POR15 has great self leveling properties. Did mad research on it, if you do all the correct prep work the Quality and longevity is awesome. I Will do under fenders next.
HEY WAIT A SEC

I learned it from your Build... LMAO
