Here are a few pics of rust proofing the inside of the hood and I remove the rust and repaint the front above the grill and the grill it self.

what did you spray it with?

the hood has black rustoleoum and spray on bedliner on top
grill 3 coats of flat black rustoleom
above the grill I scrape all rust tape all the stickers and 5 coats of white rustoleoum

I just about gave up on installing the steering guard from the Disco XD to the RRC , the mounting bracket bolts are so tight and the upper ones I cant seem to find from where to grab the nut , just got pissed I left everything on the ground and came back in the house ...and yes I sprayed the bolts

cut off blade will fix that

Finish the interior trim pieces the wood was too far gone to recover so I sanded fill in with wood putty any cracks , sanded and painted with rustoleum autumn brown texture paint, and 2 coats of clear coat ones I was done ,I like it better than cracked old wood not the best work I done I see some details that needed an extra coat but I just wanted to finish and install it back.

not bad looking. mine clear coat is crinkled but for hte most part is still in good shape. its kinda weird how the interiors of the classics is half brown/tan and the other is grey. when i redid my headliner i didnt know if i should do it brown or black...i did it brown now i dont know if i like it or not. as turf would say white people problems.
