You don't have to add weight to prevent rust. As long as you know where the rust prone areas are, simply oiling or rust treating inside those spots will keep it from turning to swiss cheese. The problem spots on the Metros are well known (and the pics in this thread and on metroxfi.com make it clear where to squirt the oil).

Coyote: awesome! Congrats on getting it done for the show. Looking forward to your fuel log results, of course.
