    1968 coronet.. can it be saved?

    Being a 318 car doesn’t help in justifying the expense to do a project like this, IMO. If you have the time and expertise than that’s helpful. I happen to have a 4-door cousin of your car that came from Texarkana.

    Molasses as a rust remover is awesome

    The molasses mix works better in warmer weather, if my memory serves me correctly. Inside a heated building is good.

    Molasses as a rust remover is awesome

    I found a discussion on molasses from 2010 on the AACA site link that has some members digging deep into how the solution/bacteria lives on rust, thus eliminating it. ;)Edit just added: in this article there was talk of a fellow digging a hole in the ground for a molasses bath of his whole car...

    I use a 9 to 1 ratio, that seems like what multiple sources agreed on.

    Molasses as a rust remover is awesome

    I’ve been using Ospho on some smaller items, a driveshaft for instance, and did wash/wiped it off before painting. It’s good to know how others are using it and your re-wetting technique on stored metal items I hadn’t considered or heard of but it makes sense. It’s a new product to me. You...

    Molasses as a rust remover is awesome

    I must have missed your last post and am wondering about the use of Ospho prior to you painting the hood. I heard the Ospho needs to be washed off before painting and someone I know was told to use original Windex as a final prep before painting his car. After those steps his vehicle’s paint...

    Molasses as a rust remover is awesome

    Conclusion: The fishing sticker is still strongly & strangely holding up, soaking it longer may have discolored it or brought minor rust back, the paint/galvanizing was loosed/bubbled some but that helped with scrubbing it off, it took most of the rust off the chrome latches. All in all I’m...

    Molasses as a rust remover is awesome

    A scrubbing pad was utilized to knock off the loose particles between soakings and what is the end result. Is the fishing sticker still attached?? What about the paint/galvanized coating, was that affected? Stay tuned!

    Molasses as a rust remover is awesome

    The chrome on the latches were in poor condition and the fishing patch certainly is a wild card, that’s the scientific description meaning “I don’t have a clue how the molasses will react to the glue and material of the sticker.”. Here’s a look a few weeks later;) As the...

    This tool box was soaked for 6-8 weeks. I misplaced the scientific logs at the moment. Here is the start.

    Johnny Lightning rear wheel fender "Plymouth" decal

    Use masking tape to secure on and step back to see what looks good to you. Use a soapy water spray to help in positioning and a squeegee. You probably know that already. A member here may have some measurements for you as I’m not familiar with that but I like your idea. Gosh that is a great...

    Are ‘68 Coronet Qrt. Panel Extensions the Same Between a 4-Dr & a R/T?

    That’s interesting that the trunk lid from the 4-dr had the cutouts. I’m assuming that you replaced your original lid with the ‘70 Belvedere trunk lid? I’m seeing on the pictures that the Qt. Extension are the same. Some with trim holes.

    Are ‘68 Coronet Qrt. Panel Extensions the Same Between a 4-Dr & a R/T?

    My thoughts are on the ‘68 Coronets they are basically the same as yours. And as you mentioned there could be mounting holes for trim added or not. My main concern/question is about the ‘68 4-Dr comparison to the ‘68 R/T. Looking at google photos now. Thanks for your input

    Are ‘68 Coronet Qrt. Panel Extensions the Same Between a 4-Dr & a R/T?

    Are the Extensions the same across the entire line, 4-Dr, 440, 500, R/T, Superbee, Hardtop, Sedan and Convertible?
