Whats the best rust remover and preventer for my 67 camaro
I just purchased a 67 camaro. My plans for it are either going to be an LS1 with a T56 or an LS2. But right now Im stripping the car down and I wanted to see what the best rust remover and what spray to use to prevent the rust from coming back. I've read a lot online about sprays that convert the rust into different compounds, but I wanted to get your opinions and see what experiences you have had with some of the products out there. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I shot everything full of epoxy primer till it ran out the seams, but now the rust is coming back in the seams . It has been ~5 years and the car is a year round daily driver.
If it is thick metal I prefer to sandblast. I also would like to try loading my sandblaster with baking soda as I have heard that is a great media for sheetmetal, but I have not found a cheap source of baking soda yet.

glass bead blasting works great to get rid of rust, just be careful not to blow through it, and ive always loved POR-15 to prevent rust...covers extremely well and easy and lasts a long time

As long as you stay out of the northeast "rust belt", any decent automotive paint will take care of the car.
