The way the old-timers rustproof in New Hampshire is:
- Spray underside, etc with used motor oil
- Drive car/truck down a dirt road to get underneath liberally
coated with dust.
- Respray underside with oil
I've seen rust-free rigs which have been treated this way for years;
the goop is inches thick and salt doesn't have a prayer of finding its
way in.
