Lot's of information regarding this method of rust removal is available online. A few things to keep in mind:
- It's slow... To really get the optimum results you need to leave any panel cooking for around 3 days, it will be visibly rust free after 2 days, but cutting in will still show the odd trace. Larger panels, remove & clean every 48 hrs and cook for 4-5 days.
- Single skins ONLY! This is paramount. You can not have seams or double skin panels as anywhere steel skins join will corrode after the process. I did some experimenting with different corrosion prevention methods (oiling, high pressure air-brush application, dipping, etc), but was not happy with the results.
So that is why you will see the panels separated into individual skins. Above is the rear window section (inner) in etch primer following the electrolysis treatment.
Below is the rear vent section from the oval. The hinge mounts were from the '58; the bare metalling of these mounts included using a small drill bit that had the tip broken off (I save all broken drill bits), this enabled me to mill the hard to reach spots very effectively.
