Madmax.... when you asked "Jack , what would you do when dealing with rust on a car from step 1 ? I smiled, as in my mind paint is just about the LAST step in the restoration process....(-:

My thinking is a tad more basic in terms of the effectiveness of initial design and maintenance relative to attempts to restrict the ability of corrosion to take hold in the FIRST place..? In that regard I suspect the areas susceptible to rot and rust in TRAD Morgans may have been well documented over the years, which would seem to be the best place to pay attention to applying preventative and preservation methods..?
