Well I've gone and done it

I went to New Orleans this weekend and picked up my dream car. It's in sad shape, but that's why I'm here to bring it back to life. It took a heck on a lick from Katrina. But the price was unbeatable.

So now I am the proud owner of a 1967 Mercury Cougar. It's rough but it's a place to start. It's got a lot of surface rust and sat under water for 3 weeks. So I need help figurin out the best way to remove all the rust possible. Any ideas?

ok welcome to the site..i am no body guy but would think chemical dip would be the best to get inside the nook and crannnies..then get inside all the parts you can and por15 it so it doesnt rust from insdie out..good luck !!!

+1 For the Chemical dip.

Welcome to the site, I love those cars. You should make an XR-7 clone but with a pro-touring treatment.
