I know you're doing everything you can to do this right, and you may have a specific reason for it, but why stop there with the frame resto? Why not go all the way back? Button up the whole thing, delete all the seams, fill any unused holes, then paint the whole thing? I'm not intending to sound rude about it, I'm legit wondering, because based on some of your other videos, I fully believe you'll end up doing exactly what I'm asking about in the future.

No no you’re totally cool. I figured people would ask. I’m really just trying to get this car together as quickly as I’m able to. I wanted to Pull the body and do that but that would make it a frame off which would be another few months of work. Here I can now bolt the front suspension on and get the motor back in and get it driving again. I have to find a place to stop because I’m about to do a frame off on my truck. So I’d rather make this nice where you can see it and focus on the rest later. My truck is becoming more of a priority every day so the car needs to get done. I will in the future go back and pull the body off the galaxie but as of now it’s important as a college student that I get the car driving so I can focus on other projects. Great question man

College student! Lol! I totally understand. I'm reallllly looking forward to the f100 build. You know I have one myself n I need you to teach me everything you know so I can do something with my channel! Wait, is that plagiarism?! I have one video up when I first got it running, timing was completely off, plug wires wrong too! It's running a lot smoother now, I'm having to use it as my primary driver for my 56 mile commute to work. Whenever I get the chance to park it again, I'm going to fix the timing issue, the radiator leak and the oil leak, but as for now, I just stop n fill it up with oil n check the gas! I'm rambling, go study bro! Or turn wrenches with the camera on!

This is probably the dozenth time I've watched this video because it's just so satisfying seeing the frame go from bare to beauty. I'll definitely be using this on my GMC's frame, planning for next spring once this Michigan snow season is over with to start getting a fully restored rolling chassis. I'm super stoked to see where the Galaxy project goes, it's definitely one of those cars where the body lines just make you fall in love with it.

I have had bad luck with POR 15 over clean metal. Its called POR " paint over rust" for a reason. It really needs rust to cover to bite into. It work well for what its designed for. Encapsulate rust and prevent it from getting worse. IMO, its not so good for clean metal. You got your frame so nice I would of primed and painted it. To use POR 15, i just clean and degrease frame, knock loose stuff off with wire brush or wheel, degrease again and paint. Turns out great. You went above and beyond and did a great job cleaning and prepping. It would of taken a nice paint job and lasted for a long time.

POR15 can be used over bare metal, when prepped properly. It's the metal prep process before that is crucial for adhesion. Rust on a car or truck frame tends to be spotty/not consistent in coverage. And in most cases, wire brushing the loose rust off leaves exposed bare metal. Complete media blasted frames are POR15 coated all the time.

Glad to see it coming together like this, looks great already can’t wait till it’s done

POR-15 is awesome. It also adheres to rust and the metal will no longer continue the rust process. Like you mentioned, it does need to be painted y you have the metal exposed to the sun. It does work better when it is humid too. Thank you.

This was so satisfying to watch how well that paint lays down. It literally looks like you sprayed it. I'm in the process of painting my frame. It's very temporary. Just to keep it from rusting anymore with it being salt season in Kentucky. Eventually I wanna take the whole body off and do it right but right now I don't have time or money so I'm cleaned it best I could with wire brush and old enamel anti rust spray paint I've had forever. 😂

Awesome job. Doing that to my 87 Suburban diesel 4x4 soon!

Great content very satisfying to watch keep up the good work

That's some nice work. Your galaxie will be amazing when its done.

That's a good job I did my 64 with rustoleum took my body off frame lot of work

I did my 89 frame with ace “rust stop” and it turned out really nice

I used POR-15 on the inside of my 66 Impala wheel wells. I found out that if you get it on your skin, you'll have to wear it off if it dries. For a firewall and frame, I like satin black better than the super high gloss. Your frame turned out nice. I really like that car!

Man that does look amazing you do great work

Great video that frame looks amazing now

I used that on the floor pan of my mustang. Works great!

Turned out sweet. Another great video 👍👍

Thank you for making this video and others. It's helped me really learn a lot on which direction to go with my truck. I'm really close to finishing the floor pans in my 1967 F100. Next I'm pulling out the engine and removing the bed this month. My goal right now is to knock off the rust from the frame, paint with POR15, and clean the engine bay up by the end of the year. What did you put on before you painted and did it come with your POR15?

Looks so much better than I expected. I almost face palmed a bit when I saw the brush since you cleaned the frame up so nicely but it turned out good. Have you considered doing the rest of the frame too?

the moment I saw him put the lid back on that POR15 I knew... he had never used it before!

That sounds like the best idea yet. Cut a zip lock because it’s thicker than plastic wrap for food. The way I understand POR-15, it hardens with moisture in the air. So if lid is open, before stirring, clean lid seal cavity with paper towel and flat blade screwdriver. Then with 1/2” masking tape, cover the cavity to keep clean. Many use two inch tape to create a “V” on can to pour from. Then remove tape and seal. I don’t know why, but I alway use a 12” 2 X 4 wood block to tap lid back on as not to crush it. But use the heavy plastic first. Inside frame sealer on the cheap? My grandad took 2 toilet wax seals and melted with with boiled linseed oil. He wiped his saws & other to keep from rusting. I have a metal bottle with screw-on spray gun. It used a disconnect like air hose, but tiny and has 5 different hoses / tips. HF May sell a similar tool but thin if needed with cap of mineral spirits. Bowl seals aren't bee’s was but petroleum based. It thinks it just as well as it hardens at room temp and stays at higher temp. But after all, the video is $100 dollars? So done cheap! Have a good day!

It won't stay glossy. My buddy did this to the pan in his VW and it looked like black primer after awhile. It's designed to be painted over.

My whole floor and firewall are painted with this product and I love it! looks like we are actually getting something done lol! I recommend putting a sheet metal screw into the lid of the can next time and just unscrewing it when you need to fill the cup, This is good to save money because POR ain't cheap! Love the galaxy vids man, keep it up!

As someone with 40 years experience do you recommend POR15? Any other products? Ive heard a lot of people with alleged restoration experience say that it is absolute crap and doesnt last...just peels off after a year or two even if prepped properly. They say it cures too hard and brittle and cant flex or expand with the metal of the frame. Any thoughts on that?

Hey would you by chance be able to do a video on the best chemical to strip old paint/bondo off a car? Every video I see it says to use aircraft paint stripper but where I am located it is no longer available thank you in advance and hope you have a great day.

If im not mistaken, por stands for paint over rust and i thought you needed a rougher surface for the paint to stick to the frame. If thats not the case thats cool because i saw a guy that did this with his f100 frame and he had pictures of the paint flaking off after a short time Edit: now that i heard you say that its not uv protected, that may have been the case.

I used por on my 67 f100 frame but I'd advice u to use gloves stuffs hard to remove ....I should have put another coat of another paint over it cause it started to fade bad

Hey , what size can of the rust stop did you end up using? About to do this to my Hilux!

Kevin here with HTXF100s. I'm jumping ahead before finishing the video but just in case you aren't aware....don't let that POR15 be in direct sunlight too long if any at all. It will break down and start to look like poop. I am actually doing my frame right now to put in my fuel system and brake lines. I'm using the Rustoleum Rust Barrier stuff and I have to say I'm pretty impressed by it. Just my experience after having the POR15 fail on me. Don't get me wrong, POR15 looks great and if I had the time before to do the entire truck with it correctly then I probably would've been fine. Keep it up and watch out for those UV rays on the frame!

How'd this hold up? I saw a lot of bad reviews that any sort of dirt or rust that gets sealed with this just exacerbates the rust issues?

How's it holding up so far?

wow craig very very cool i'm a lil wondering why u & cus there didn't jack the rest of the body up a bit & get more of the frame... U KNOW UNDER THE BODY MORE .... even if u jacked up the front half & tilted it back so u have room to get in there & do all the lil step's u did & then do the back half by tilting it a bit 4 ward enough so u could get in there w/ all that u r putting... EVEN ON A SMALL BUDGET THAT U-TUBE BY NOW HAS TO BE PAYING U...... & & GET IT ALL DONE ON THE FRAME...... u r doing awesome job buddy..... keep going !!!!!!!!!!!!

What grit flap disc did you use?

What about the rest of the frame? Why only do one third of it?

How does the frame look like over 4yrs later? If you still have the truck of course.

Oh yea and that can u have to properly seal it cause it will harden and u wont ve able to use it again I buy the small pints

Why was it so much dirty under the shiny metal? It gets dirty that bad after using chassis saver?

I don’t know how true it is but I’ve heard penetrating oils will penetrate deeply into the steel and stop the bond of your paint

That POR15 must be "self leveling" does it state that on the can...

Getting the bed off is my question how’d you donit

Buy a spot sand blaster and silica sand. Way faster and better results. Little blasters are cheap and useful.

Why would you not do the entire frame all and once?

Yes, the whole frame, but being busy in my garage, I did not catch the kind of car. A subframe would make this job easier if the floors are good. Unfortunately even with all of the correct steps some like it and others will never use it again. Too bad it’s not catalyzed to make it more like an Epoxy!
