I read here all the time but don’t really post much. It’s been a minute since I’ve done anything at all with the bus, life got in the way, but back at it now.
I’m going to be moving to Montana at the first of the year. Desperately need to do something about the bus!! For now it’s just going to be my “U-Haul”
I already had the seats out so today I pulled the rest of the wood up from the floor. Ground off all the screws that wouldn’t come out and hit all the rust areas with a 60 grit flap wheel.
Was stoked to treat the rust so went to town to find some rust converter. I had planned to use Ospho but nobody had it. I went to eight different stores and nobody had any type off rust converter. Came home and started looking up rust converter on this site. Search function works pretty good now!
Many of the rust converters are just phosphoric acid which turns rust (iron oxide) to iron phosphate which is a very good paint base. So.....back to Home Depot for this.
