Was at a mates place last week he had vet chassis hot dipped galvanised about $250 down side was he had to run a tap through all threads in chassis, was then going to paint with black paint similar to POR chassis paint
Scott:
All the landrover guys just spray the inside of the chassis with cavity wax or lanolin. Not as permanent, however for a vette you'd only have to do it once every 5 years at most and it wouldn't take long. Probably 2-3 beers worth if you do it right ;)

I'm thinking it's 40 years old and in reasonable condition ,
Will it go another 40 years, if nothing is done.
Hot dip gal I've seen it done but the heat of the gal pit weakens the steel. I wouldn't go that way .
But
A few sacrificial anodes ! Bolted to the frame, well! that's easy and works

POR-15 is mentioned a lot in the other forums; I haven't used it myself; KBS in Aus. make a similar product that's cheaper.
If you don't mind going to another forum; there's a thread on it here:

I have used POR-15 for many years. If you follow the instructions and use their Metal Ready rust converter and surface etcher product first, then you'll get a great result.
