=======================================
A few years back while having money and vacation times I spent quite a bit
of time in the "Carribbean Islands", almost all of the taxis on those island
were covered underneath with a mixture of sand & oil, they even pulled the
door panels off and plastered this concoction inside the doors, must have
worked quite well they held up against the salt air & water for many, many
years, also outside of the U/S market the largest remaing Model "A" Fords
are South America and they have the same pracitce of rust proofing there.
