rust in the truck of my 71 newport

[Deleted member 220]

after buying the car last spring i decided to pull the mat out of the trunk later that summer to find this. the back window leaks so after it sitting at a body shop for 4 months and them not touching it i decided to give it a shot biggest pain was getting the back window out i order some rust bullet to spray to trunk with when i clean it out and the window track the roof i will have a different body shop paint has anyone sprayed rust bullet before im hoping my spray gun can handle it

I have sprayed Rust Bullet specifically. It needs one part reducer to 4 - 6 parts paint. You also want a large tip nozzle used for primer paints. It will come out beautiful with two coats.

It's not my style... but who cares what I think... it's not mine. I appreciate the effort and I do love that she's getting the love she deserves.

Captin, I really do hope you get the $$ from the St Regis Sunroof car... will you look to rebuild what you have or start fresh with something else. Thank you again for trying.

Also, as to the "needs a motor"... what specifically has gone wrong? You might not need a full blown rebuild... depending on what's wrong. Compression and leak down tests would be a great place to start... I can appreciate the desire to make it all fresh, but in reality, lots of engines get rebuilt when they still could have been repaired.

Mainly its the heads values seats are shot there are sunk in about 1/16 car has 101000 miles

Those heads are fine to rebuild. It will cost more for new seats and new valves, but they can be fixed reliably. Or source a replacement set. Either way not a big deal.

Too bad you weren't closer, I have 5 or 6 sets of heads, you could have a set.
