Thanks guys! I just spent a bit more time on some rust areas, mostly doing the shock towers under the hood right now, then I will get into to the more visible areas. None of the rust is too bad so I have high hopes for this car lasting me a long time.

I was going to use leftover truckbed liner in the fenders and under the rockers, then a healthy oil spray, but I changed my mind. My dad uses a waxy coating stuff on his tractors, both sprayed and brushed on, it's not too thick, dries very solid and because it's wax based it is completely moisture resistant. We have used it on a few of his tractors and the stuff is downright incredible, but expensive. However, to me, and how nice this car is, it is well worth it.

If I feel it is still necessary, I have a buddy who works at Krown who said he can take care of it inside the rockers etc. I plan to take rust control and prevention very seriously, rust is the only thing I see for me not having this car for years to come.

I took the care with the El Camino, and I've had it for 7 years, I hope the VX will be the same.
