I used Waxoil quite extensively on my bugeye restoration. I didn't want to
drill any extra holes, but was easily able to get it in the A-posts in front of
the doors via most of the existin screw holes. I had also thought of drilling a
'water drain hole' at the bottom, and plug it with a rubber plug, so that it
could be checked and drained periodically, but I still havent done it.
Warning - Be careful, if you ever need to weld in an area that was Waxoil'd.
The stuff can catch fire and burn like a candle inside 'hidden' frame areas. I
had this happen on an IH scout, when I was doing some welding on rocker panels
that had been treated on the inside.

Why do I not find references to putting Waxoil into A-posts from the inside?
There is an existing hole for the door buzzer wiring that appears to go to
the interior, and I have some "nonexistant" holes carefully painted
over by
the DPO. It would not be hard to put in a hole specifically for this
purpose and seal it with a rubber plug or even duck tape.
