Other than a couple of bubbles at the ends of the rockers, my 72 Spider seems pretty "rust free." I did a thorough PPI up on a lift and didn't find anything scary. So I was shocked
when, during a recent tank rehab project, I reached up under the fenders inside the trunk and felt rust. There is no evidence of this from the outside. Using my digital camera instead of trying to stand on my head I saw all kinds of rust on these surfaces, under the rearmost trunk lip, inside the "tops" of the fenders, over the wheel wells. The worst was a spot on the left side of the panel between the rear of the passenger area and the front of the trunk opening. I still need to figure out how water gets to that point and address that.
I hit everything as far as I could reach with a wire brush and POR15, with the results shown.
Obviously I can't reach every area with rust, but I think I did what I could. Would it be a dumb idea to just spray rustoleum back into the area above and forward of the wheel wells? I'm reluctant to just let fly since I have a nice paint job and don't want overspray coming out some place. Any thoughts on that?
