Some of the challenges IMHO - if you don't clean the interior surfaces down to good clean metal your only covering whatever is there. This can work to your advantage or speed up the rusting process as many owners of undercoated cars can attest to.

To clean these area completely I can't think of another affordable method other than dipping and personally I don't want to ever restore another dipped car. Only had to do that once to not want to repeat that.

I am aware that Jeremy at Maple Hill (great guy that does Virginia Mustang - Brant's cars) uses a product to seal and coat these interior surfaces or at least has done so on some of the restorations as shown in one or two of Brant's blogs on his site.

Not sure if Eastwood's product is a paint based or wax based (read Zebar) product. Luckily for people like me that live in the rust free zones I don't see the hidden surfaces to be an issue for another 50-75 years on our cars

I saw that, and that is what got me thinking along these lines.

Maybe some truth on your climate Jeff, but my car only spent 1/2 of one summer and a fall in Ohio outside as a driver, never saw the snow or salt and was indoors afterwards for 16 years. Prior to that it spent the first 30 years in arid Barstow and Palm Springs area. Only saw rain of So. Calif and car washes for those years. MICE seem to have helped add to whatever started naturally on it's own untreated cowl areas. Then there is some areas along the lower dash where the little fellas ran around that has some corrosion to clean off.  I'm sure 16 years of humidity helped too.


addressing the products content,

cut/pasted from this page:
http://www.eastwood.com/internal-frame-coating-w-spray-nozzle.html

Tough phenolic resin penetrates, converts and encapsulates the rust on the internal surface
Zinc phosphate seals it to prevent future corrosion
24"-long tube with conical nozzle reaches in to spray coating in a radial pattern for complete coverage
Covers 10 sq. ft. per can
Fully cures in 24 hours

Cans retail at $20 each, I'd say after reading some reviews, probably 3-4 cans could do a whole Mustang.

Currently restoring a 71 J code Mach 1, used the Eastwood internal frame coating inside any enclosed areas. My car saw 2 Michigan winters.  Didn't have to do any floor pan or trunk area repairs.  Product is very fluid, which is good for flowing into small gaps in metal.   Connected 3 of the 24'' tubes for longer reach to enclosures with access hole on one end only.  Four cans should do complete car. My thinking is its better than nothing.

I used up 2 cans of this stuff this morning. Definitely need about 4-5 cans per car.

I like-y! Good stuff! I shot the rockers, windshield & A-pillars, front frame rails under the floorpan, seat risers and along the rear wheel arc pinch-welds. Flows out very thin...the thin viscosity being what I like best about it. Over the wheel wells, you don't really even notice you have done it because the hose reaches deep into the crevice. You just KNOW this is better than bare metal.

Personally, I wouldn't NOT want to do this. I am ordering 3-more cans today ;)

Pictures are worth a thousand words... I got these from Virginia Classic Mustang Blog site long ago.

Transtar sealers are great stuff...Someone from CA turned me onto them in the past....
