Your right, only where the salt and sand spray, like sandblasting with salt.

not just salt but any dirt on the road will chip away at the paint. most cars now are plastic there but you still will get rust at the rockers and other odd placed where salty water can reach

Right, anywhere salty water can sit, which is the reason i want to lose the trim along the side and around the wheel wells.

This is what i use to coat the underside, and other nooks and crannies. I get it in the gallon size and use this heavy duty spray bottle.

She is kept indoors but at this point of the restore - I drive her in all weather.  I would not start out in the ice/snow but if I got caught out in it, it would probably be ok   ;)

Uh oh,,,first snow is hitting MA tonight/ tomorrow.  The salt trucks are warming up!!! We are supposed to get about 5", but thats really like 8 if you include 3" of salt!!  Time to give her an oil bath underneath. Getting nervous.
