John -
Why would you want to paint the floor before welding ?
The best procedure is to weld in the floor (be sure that the metal is clean and
rust-free before proceeding), then sandblast, then coat with POR-15 or Corroless
(my preference). If you try to weld in or around either coating, the fumes
could be poisonous, especially POR-15.
On a related topic, I just finished detailing the steering
knuckle and linkage for the 59 Dodge. When the frame was sandblasted and
painted in '96, I accidently splashed some Corroless on the steering
knuckle. In the course of cleaning the knuckle in preparation for
detailing, I tried to wire wheel the old Corroless off the knuckle. Had a
lot of trouble. That stuff sticks like crazy ! Also less toxic than
POR-15, although I wouldn't use either without a respirator. You can buy
Corroless thru the Eastwood Company.

Subject: [FWDLK] 59 Sub floor
Hi all,
I am at the point where we are about to
weld in some new floor panels...homemade... and I want to paint the floor with
either POR 15 or Corroless before welding new panels on floor. Anyone
have any ideas if one is better than the other????? I will have
to find a dealer for either in any event. Neither of the parts stores
in town have either.
Still looking for a good windshield...or
a parts car with a like new windshield. A Suburban, 4 dr. sedan,
or 2 dr. sedan....any will work. Also, anyone know if anybody makes the
seals for the rear quarter side windows for the 4 dr. Suburbans?
Thanks in
advance for any info. Also thanks for the info on window channels and
anti-vibration strips.
