"The" body and paint website is Autobodystore.com. They have message board similar to this one where the pros really compare notes. The owner, like Wayne here, also runs a supply store and is very helpful on the phone and on the board. For whatever reason, the board is generally dismissive of POR 15 and leans towards a product called Picklex 20. I used on my Mach 1 restoration, which I conpletely Da'd to bare metal and spritzed with this stuff... it then sat for 7 months (!) in my garage like that waiting for the bodyman to get to it. No surface rust, and the bodyman now swears by it too. The other product I would pitch is 3M weld-thru coating. SPray both pieces right where you are going to weld. Welds are super-prone to rust as it's really pure steel.
