This is the way I found the car after it had been sitting since 1976. There is no really serious damage yet but I want to prevent it from getting any worse ! My question is what is the best way to clean up, neutralize the battery acid, and primer or paint over it with ?

Check the bottom of the frane rail for softness going all the way back the bottom of the drivers foot well. logan426
