Re: Frame rust

If you really want to slow the rust down you can attach unfinished lead chunks to your frame. Rust attacks the weakest metal first. That is why the body rusts first in most cases. In theory as long as you change the lead chunks out before they are "spent" your frame would never rust. Rust is a chemical reaction after all. This is how naval ships can float in an ocean of salt water and not rust as much as you would think.
does anyone actually do this though? I have never heard of this!  BTW it might be a good idea to fishmouth the plates if u weld them on
