<x-charset iso-8859-1>On the same subject: would it be a good idea to paint the underside of the car with rust converter, and then underseal it? I have plenty of surface rust, but no significant rust holes. I have used rust converter on many small rust patches, and it seems to work well. I have also read good things about it. Bear in mind that I live in a _very_ low-rust climate (Israel), probably more or less like Texas or somewhere. Daniel Baum PS Jim, I accidentally sent this to you personally earlier.
