I am restoring a 1950 champion and there is surface rust under the floor, up under the front fenders and the rear fenders. It all seems to be just light rust, no flakes. Also, inside the doors-I have all the glass out, and inside the area under the rear windows. I have both doors, four fenders, trunk lid, and hood off and want to treat the rust and maybe spray undercoating material on all of those areas before having the car painted. I need to know how to treat the rust and be done with it so that I can take the car to be painted. I will take it in pieces so each one can be painted all over before I put it back together. Also, even though the car runs and drives alright I am planning to rewire it since the insulation is cracking off the wires. I would like to buy a harness but so far they seem to be very expensive considering the small amount of wire and time involved for someone who does it on a regular basis-is there someone who provides harnesses at a reasonable price. The trunk lid has rusted quite a bit about 3 inches up from the bottom edge below the latch and all the way across so, I am open for suggestions on this too. Also, should I paint the frame after I treat the rust or should I put undercoating on it too?
Is there any studebaker supplier that is known for having the most fair prices.
Thanks for any suggestions.
