I've removed the subfloor of my
1963 Safari. I was concerned about the condition of the frame because of the age of the Airstream and the condition of the subfloor. Overall, I think the frame looks really good, but I wanted to get a second opinion.
I have attached a few photos. Most photos show the areas I am concerned about.
Specifically:
- Is the frame (in general) in as good condition as I seem to think it is?
- How do you recommend I repair the areas of concern?
- Are there specific wire brushes that are recommended for removing the rust? Are certain brushes too "rough"?
- Do I need to address the area beneath the frame (the area that touches the aluminum belly pan)?
- What should I apply to the frame to prevent further rust?
- Is it okay if the rust protection "paint" ends up on the belly pan aluminum?
