Carey,
Thanks for your thoughts. Most of the frame sections Brian Stuckey manufactures are available in either galvanized un-galvalized. Given the fairly minor price difference, I will probably opt for the former. Montreal is probably the rust bucket capital of North America - we dump a phenomenal amount of salt on our roads, which leads to crumbling infrastructure......and cars eaten away by tin worm. So I am altogether too familiar with rust - which makes it even more embarrassing to have spotted this. Got a good look at the front section of the frame (under the battery tray, etc.), and since it was pristine, I assumed the back would be in a similar state.
I have my cars done by one of only 2 APA-approved rust proofers. Its run by Barry - a Jamaican guy who's background includes designing a rust-proofing program for British military vehicles. He makes up 2 different cocktails of a mixture of grease and ATF. One of them is thin - he does a first spray with this so that it dribbles into all of the cracks, then overshoots with a much thicker spray that is closer to your more conventional tar-based undercoating, but still a mixture or grease and ATF. The second coat "protects" the first. He typically spends 5 - 6 hours doing a car, because he doesn't drill holes - takes everything apart piece by piece. He has long flexible wants to get up into roof pillars, box sections, etc. The result: cars that just don't rust even in Montreal. Barry tools around in a 50-year old Volvo that doesn't have a spot of rust. When I get the metalwork repaired, I will get Barry to shoot the undercarriage of the coach.
