Rust, one spot at a time....
So I've got some rust spots on my '84 GW that I'd like to nip in the
bud. I've seen some spray paint that has zinc in it (Galvax) that's
supposed to galvanize the metal and is usable as a primer. Does this
sound like a good idea? What's the difference b/n that and standard
car primer?
My initial plan was to simply hit the existing spots in situ, but the
more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards removing individual
panels one at a time and doing them in my shop. Any thoughts?
Maybe I should just work more, save my $$ and get it professionally
done.

Hi Jay,
You have a frame so the floor boards aren't as critical for your
chaise strength as Snow's XJ: http://----------.com/snowXJ/ Be careful
if you use a welder to repair the area as it will shrink, some times
enough so as the door won't close.
