As per Gene's valuable suggestion, after dinner this evening I scrubbed the underside of the battery area with detergent to remove dirt and grease and then rinsed it with a garden hose. That is easier said then done. Imagine lying on your back in the driveway while spraying the inside of a fender with a garden hose. Then I went and had a couple of beers with my sympathetic late model T-Bird and Mustang enthusiast neighbor while the water dried. Then I added two coats of rust neutralizer to the underside of the battery area.

Tomorrow I will follow this with a coat of primer. After that I will add a final coat of semi-gloss back paint.
