Default POR-15 and floor boards

During my restoration of the interior of my 1979 C3, I ran across riveted floor boards from a previous owner. They were not in bad shape so I am keeping them.

Applied some POR-15 to prevent any more rust.

The previous owner did not fix the passenger window which did not roll up all the way. Had a 3/4 in space where water came in and soaked the carpets.

I don't know how long it sat that way as I bought this from a dealer.

New carpets, door liners, dash pad are going in soon! Still waiting on some parts.

Before POR-15


Seeing that it is only 45 degrees it will take quite some time to dry before a second coat of POR-15.


After POR-15

Looks great, I did the same thing on my 76.

Put a drop light with a 100 or 75 watt bulb under the car on the floor facing down. Non combustible floor.

The heat will cure the paint. I use a drop light with a metal case for the bulb.

It takes a while but the floor will warm to 90 degrees or so.
