Frame 'restoration' project (1 Viewer)

[69FJ40NJ]

I am getting ready to start to 'restore' the frame with the body on. There is surface rust and lots of grime.
I plan to wire wheel and/or flap disk the frame down to the bare metal.
Then use Eastwood Rust Encapsulator Plus on the area after using a de-greaser.
After the Rust Encapsulator Plus cures, using a chassis black paint to provide a nice finish.

I will not be able to do the entire frame all at once, so I will be doing sections at a time.

Is the above a good plan? Any suggestions or comments on products or steps, all is welcome.

Thanks

Sand blast followed by an epoxy primer.
Any thing short of blasting or dipping isn't going to do much on the nooks and crannies.

Yeah, unfortunately the "partial box" design used along several sections is great at holding dirt and mud and salt.

There's really not all that much to pulling the body - but if doing piecemeal to keep it roadworthy, you'll just have the tradeoff of making some cosmetic and partial improvement, but not getting the insides clean like blasting and epoxy primer would get you.
