Yo, Bob! I ordered my Cobra kit car with a bare frame which wound up picking up
some rust before I painted it with POR-15. The POR was OK, but I really liked
the Metal Ready they sold me. All you had to do was spray it on the rust and
the rust literally ran off. You can go to the POR-15 site and order it from
them directly.
BTW, found any buyers for my Bugeye yet?
