TC sheet metal re-bending

As I stated in my previous question, I have all of the sheet metal removed
from TC 2850. I found rust where the sheet metal comes in contact with the
wood frame. When I re-assemble the body tub, I will need to re-bend some of
the "lips". Is there a product that I can rust proof the metal with that will
bend and not crack during re-installation? (POR15?) Thanks again, Tom,
TC2850, disassembled

There are plenty of high tech (read expensive) rust
proofing paints, primers etc. out there and everyone
has a favorite. I have found that a couple of coats
of plain old Rustoleum red oxide, rusty metal primer
works fine for this sort of use. It is fairly soft
and does not crack when the metal is bent a bit.
Easily applied with a brush. I have used the stuff
for years on Morgan body tub sheet metal and it lasts
just fine.
cheers,
