    Wow. How many years into that build? Looks like you had it on rotisserie?

    I used both Chassis Saver and POR 15. TP Tools has their own brand now and I have used it as well. Surface prep is very important.

    If you don`t want it to rust then you can`t beat por-15,just don`t get it on your skin as it will take about a month to wear off.
