I take note and will check out the Rust Bullet website, but wanted to let you know that I have used the Eastwood internal frame and find it a great product.

When I bought my '56, the exterior of the A pillars were completely rotted off- someone decided to shoot a bunch of urethane foam into them for some reason. After many hours of bending/ shrinking and welding to fabricate repairs, I wanted to protect the inside.

Shot the Eastwood product by sticking it's wand down through the headliner/roof gap, and up from the kick panel area. 2 years later a friend loaned me his fiber-optic scope, so I took a peek as my headliner is still not in- not a bit of rust and a nice olive green coat throughout.

Word of caution- be careful with the wand as it is very easy to get the material in unintended spots- it DOES NOT COME OFF without serious (sanding) measures. I found no solvent to take it off!

Another nice product is "Fluid Film". This is a eco friendly lanolin based product that has been used for years as a rust preventative on sanders, fertilizers, and industrial equipment- quickly replacing oil undercoating and 3M "Shutz" here in the Northeast. Comes in gallons and also spray cans with the wand type applicator for inner doors, etc.

Good luck and have a great 2015!
