The combo of one of these epoxy paints, a welder, and some fiber glass means you can do almost anything..

Needless to say use a respirator.
I'm going to start sounding like an advertisement for Eastwood, but here's what I'm using.

Eastwood Brushable Seam Sealer (on all welded seams)

Rust Encapsulator Plus

https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-rust-encapsulator-plus.html

And for the box sections of the body, Internal Frame Coating.

Depending on how the Rust Encapsulator looks, I might paint over it with something else.

I'm using Kilmat 80 mil sound deadening material on the floor and over the transmission tunnel. If I have enough I'll add it to the doors.
