Back in Chicago, the only "Rustproofing" that was worth a cr** was Ziebart's. They would actually take a new car apart, and with their experience analyze it and figure out where it would rust. Then, they would publish the instructions to their dealers on where to put the rustproofing. I don't know if they still do this but back in the 60's-80's if you had a car Ziebarted when new it was worth more at resale time. I wonder what their double-secret instructions were on 107's...
