   I opted for simple... Red oxide primer under catalyzed black
   enamel. Once the paint had set up I blew rust proofing "wax" onto
   every hole I could get it in. I even drilled a 1/4" hole in the
   base of the front suspension towers (for drainage) and blew rust
   proof in there as well. that was 1986... so far so good.
