I'm just starting the restoration on my Ford 850. Chassis first, bodywork later. I'm trying to remove as much of the old paint on the engine/trans castings as possible, but prepared for this taking a while. Living in humid Michigan, I'm a little worried about surface rusting starting on the first areas I strip, before I finish everything and get a coat of primer on.
From the more experienced guys out there ..... how do you handle this situation? Temporarily coat the first areas stripped with something? Or just leave it be, and come back for a final 'touch up rust removal' before the first primer coat?
Thanks!
