POR 15 on the 66 Polara

[C Body Bob]

I recently pulled the carpet out to replace it & install the newly recovered seats. The floor had some surface rust and a couple of very small holes on the pass front. So I cleaned it up & treated it to some me POR 15

3.6834986 with a 1:1 ratio works best

So will Por15 work here?

 

[C Body Bob]

It would help it from getting worse.

 

[Tom Stroud]

Is there a better choice for stopping rust I should use?

I'm no expert. I have heard good things about evaporust & Rust Bullet.

I am not a fan of POR15, powder coating, spray in bed liners or anything else that is supposed to be a "permanent" fix for rust etc. The problem is that they are never water tight, and can cause more problems down the road then they solve in the short term.

I prefer a simple tremclad/rustoleum paint...oil based and good adhesion, and can be touched up and repaired very easily. As for protecting lower quarters....just put a bunch of engine oil in there. Little messy for a few weeks, but once the oil gets into the pinched seams/welds it provides all the protection from rust that you could want. Even if you have rust issue right now, the oil will keep the problem from getting worse. I drove my 70 Sport fury year round for a couple years, and had some early rust issues starting....the rust never got worse even though I was driving through the winter months. I do this to all my vehicles, wagon included, a couple times a year. Even if you have

Just encase you're confused evaporust isn't a paint. It's a rust remover. POR-15 if applied by the directions works very well.
