I bought a 62 Catalina from the original owner. No rust, but the underside of body and frame was encapsulated in dirt. I pressure washed the underside of the car to find semi-gloss black on the frame and red oxide on the body. There must have been close to 60+ lbs. of dirt that came off. I went over to the original owner's house to ask about all this dirt. The owner explained that he rust proofed the car when it was new. The owner explained that he was from the P/I and cars over their rust very badly, so he explained how his dad had taught him how to rust proof cars. You get 90W oil, heat it up and put it in a sprayer and spray the underneath completely, then you drive the car round and around and around X10 in a dirt lot to make the dirt and oil stick to the body and frame. It sure worked on this car!
