Seam rust comes through from the INSIDE of the sills. If you can see rust on the outside, it's BAD inside. And the ONLY way to get rid of it is to cut it out and replace the cancerous metal. You can get rid of the seams entirely in this way... Commercial rustproofing is nothing of the kind. It only delays the problem, and makes any panel repairs very difficult because of its tenacious greasiness. But I have talked to a motorcycle restorer who tells me that rustproofing inevitably eventually flows down to pool in the bottoms of open spaces, leaving most surfaces exposed to resume rusting. His take on the matte: forget it. Do the job properly, do it ONCE. I'm happy to say that my outdoors-stored 84 has ZERO external rust. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut HUMANITY: THE ULTIMATE VON NEUMANN MACHINE DEMOCRACY: RULE BY THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR
