I used a product made by SEMS. It is a rust inhibator. It is about the same as POR15. Cost about 80 bucks a gallon. Seems to be good stuff. Not good for sunlight areas..Want to get some in the rails themselves to try and prevent any further rot. Have not found a wand yet to get in there..

Yes, we do have salt, way too much. It just seems like your salt is better though because every car I've looked at from Chicago has had way more rust than our cars. You guys must use industrial strength salt or some special extra metal-hungry formula....

Had some time to work on the Cougar this weekend. Started by fitting some new panels for the floor pan. Thought it looked pretty good for the first time ever working with metal and welder. Check it out...

After fitting and getting the pieces tack welded toghether I pulled the whole piece out to coat it as well as the remainder of the inside of the floor pan. Here is what it looks like now before I weld in the piece. Still going to need additional pieces to complete this part of the project.
Daminc: I owe this part of the project to you. I watched your thread and used your technic...Thanks
That is a terrible pic. Sorry I tried to resize twice and I guess that is bad to do.....LOL.....LOL....
