The only way for protection is to totally get rid of the rust. I would not trust any of the miricle coatings or convertors. I tried a test with a commercial convertor. The surface looked great, when the surface was scraped off the rust was still there. Its a lot more work, but get it opened up, remove the rust to bare shinney metal, then apply Pickle X 20, a good epoxy primer such as PPG MP-170, Then a good chassis paint such as PPH MOA Chassis Black. Then you can sleep at night knowing its all gone.
