always worse places to work i don't know about the small garage but i do know about having no garage laying in the dirt fighting the weather with bare metal not getting rusted up   :rotz: ill be using POR 15 on my floor and under carriage i'm debating when i fully restore it to get the interior rhino lined but right now i'm just trying to get it in running condition
