Title: ideal 55 Post by: zadd on May 08, 2007, 07:15:40 pm So I got the ideal 55 rack today I won a few weeks ago. I think ebay sellers got me again, I guess I should have asked more questions. It is really rust pitted . I think I will have to feather fill the whole rack and prime and paint this one

Joey Title: ideal 55 Post by: zadd on May 08, 2007, 07:36:55 pm I thought about that but some areas there's larger pitting but I guess It could still be an option. How much abuse does a rack really take

Joey Title: ideal 55 Post by: zadd on May 08, 2007, 07:58:54 pm Yea I think fixing it is the way to go. I'm pretty gental of what I have. And the wife doesn't have any intrest in using it

aluminum flapper though) It will come back chip protective along the slide areas. Now fill the pits that were left by rust on the top viewing area......and hammertone them same color. Most racks have this problem, so we think you made the right choice.........choosing to stay original is best |
