    Looks nice (now)! Is this part of the checklist for the engine out major service? Did FOM put some kind of galvanizing on before painting it black? Looks like your timing should be good to be road ready when the spring weather hits!

    Looks like new supports were actually welded in----this is why I don't drive my car in the rain or snow!! I say no to rust!!! That is actually scary after you think about it...

    A little rain isn't going to do any harm. Now salt is a different story.

    I just stroked a check for a $7,500 annual on my Mooney and they didn't even *wash* the poor bird.

    Grrr...

    I'd guess it will be. I have it on mine and the reason seems to be poor design. The supports have no means of draining away any water that gets into them so it sits there - and hey presto, rust!

    It's the substance Ferrari applied to the interior of early 308 panels to protect them from stray paint.

    I works very well. The process was perfected on the Daytonas.
