Got a question here for the "experienced" ppl. As you may or may not know I'm in the process of completely rebuilding a '66 coupe. I want to clean up every square inch of the car if possible. One of the only problems I am having is with the quarter panels. Getting inside there to clean up everything in there and putting in some rust preventative (thats the plan anyway) looks to be quite difficult.
My multipart question is this:
1) Is there a way to effictively clean/ treat in there (big problem being wheel wells) without cutting anything out or off? If so, please enlighten me!
2) If, in order to clean and treat all the metal correctly, I need to cut out some pieces I will do it. Would it be better for me to remove the entire quarter panel or just cut out the large majority of the QP skin? I'm not afraid of more work in order to achieve excellent results. I just don't want to make more work for myself if I don't have to.
My fears with removing the entire quarterpanel are: 1) A lot more work for negligible if any benefit 2) Having the dang things not fit correctly when I put them back on.
What have y'all done in this situation or what would you do were you in my position?
