I cleaned it all to bare metal, sanded/brushed/grinded off all the rust that I could, sprayed it with the conversion coating, scuffed it, primed it then sprayed dupont's imron on it...
I kept the car for ~ 10 years and never had a problem, I would drive it anytime, even on salty roads in the winter...
the key is proper prep...
the imron was brutal stuff to spray, but it is tough...a really good choice for a topcoat, if you can find someone that will use it...

wow thats a great story...well ill have the POR15 products at my house tomorrow so ill let you know how it went.
