I sanded the hood and fender to get the rust off, applyed a coat of wax and cut grass for 2 hours. The 1050 is alot of fun to drive and work with. Could be my favorite, but don't tell the 1256.
What can I do (without taking it apart) about light rust where hood bolts to hinge, and where dash tower hits tubes? If I hit it with a wire brush and just spryed with Rustoleum stops rust clear would tat protect it.
Here are some pics after wax

WOW
It looks great! Its amazing what a little washing and waxing can do
I often wonder what people think when they drive by my driveway and see all my tractors lined up getting washed instead of the car
If the rust is not that bad in those areas you may just be better off leaving it alone and keeping it all original. I guess if you want you can sand the rust off in those areas and hit it with a bit of primer and paint from a rattle can.
