[Tigers] Rust Proofing

[Steve Laifman]

Joe,

Being a California guy, the only cars I've seen with "rust cancer" were 
those housed at the beach.  When I moved to Illinois I brought my 911S 
taken cross country, and then saw what salted road cancer really was all 
about.  To protect my car I had a professional application of a product 
called "ZeeBart".  They actually drilled small holes into enclosed 
spaces, like inside the doors, and other chassis areas, and applied with 
a wand about 1/8 inch D., and the hole was plugged and sealed after 
application.

Other "open" areas were cleaned and covered as well.  If standard "under 
seal" is used, I am told that small tears allow salt water in to pockets 
and it rusts even quicker.

Six years later I came "home", and there was zero rust.  I believe it is 
those little nooks and cranny's that hold the salt.  I don't have 20 
years experience with this process, but it was recommended as "the best 
thing to do".

So, now I have a 44 year old car that has never left California, not 
especially protected, and no rust.  So there is an alternate solution - 
provided you don't already have "cancer".

Good Fortune,

Steve
