Ford GP (series 1) slow build

[Mike K]

Ah OK . There are many types of undercoatings available these days , the POR stuff is good but expensive . I have heard of Rustoleum, I think it's available here. The sandblaster here uses red oxide .

The neighbour down the road put me onto something in the local hardware " FERRONITE" . It was developed for the marine industry and it is made in QLD . The active ingredient is tannic acid , from vegetable matter. The theory is: the acid draws out the oxides in the rust and the rusty steel surface ends up a blackish colour. It is not cheap to buy at 38 bucks a litre. The base is a polimer I think , or something similar.

The GP is looking very nice . Who is building the new tubs ?
