The interior was very bad, so I basically just gutted everything. Ripped out the seats, door panels, everything. There
are some issues with the floorboards. I sanded off what rust I could by hand and with a little 4" grinder. And then
I spray painted everything with Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer. It's supposed to be made with some kind of fish oil that penetrates
into the rust. And its cheap. Eventually. I'm going to weld in some patches and fix the floor right, but for now, I just
screwed down some sheetmetal over the holes.
I painted the whole dash with the rusty primer. Then I did the bottom part with Rustoleum White Appliance Enamel
in a spray can. Looks really good, kind of like a refrigerator.
Here it is on the kitchen table after doing the top half. I got some paint from Tractor Supply Co. along with some of
their hardener. (Supposed to make the paint glossy and dry faster.) This is the first thing I've tried it on and it came
out pretty good, except for a bug or two that flew into it!
Here it is reinstalled. You can see the Plymouth steering wheel in this picture. I also replaced all the wiring under
the dash while I was at it. That's about where I am now with the interior. Still need to paint some trim pieces that go on
the doors and other spots.
