    Hey, the little tiny guy in the bumper...is he your body man? I'm guessing he had to use a ladder to make those repairs. Seems to be admiring his handywork anyway.:rofl2:

    Is the rust bullet silver, or just painted over with silver? I see the same silver on your tractor repair.

    I know that Por-15 use to be mail order only. Now you can buy it local.

    Just based on what I have heard about Rust Bullett I would say it's a great product. I would use it if the opportunity presented itself. Por-15 is also a great product. I have been using it for 25-30 years. As in most anything, if you use as per directions, the product will perform as advertised. I've never in these 25-30 years had any peel. I used it on my blue Maverick all throughout the insides and in all rust-prone areas. As most of you know this car got 4 ft of flood water from Katrina a little over 3 years ago. As we speak there has been no rust coming up on this body anywhere (looking for piece of wood). All I had to do was partly disassemble the car and clean it thoroughly. I did have to pull the dash back out and strip/repaint it (no Por-15 on it). Anyway, if Por-15 was such a terrible product I don't think they would still be in business after all these years. I say just use whichever one is convenient to you or maybe the cheapest. You'll get good results from either. :2cents: (y)

    You get what you pay for. It's worth every penny.
