I am investing in a pristine late model and thinking of taking it to  
Ziebart or rust proofing it myself. Does anyone have anything in  
regards to doing this ? I have my own plan but want to hear some  
opinions and advice. My plan is:

Remove all interior panels, pressure clean all concealed areas  
assuring all dirt and debris is out then remove any loose rust sand  
what I can and apply rust-proofing

Pressure was down engine compartment sides, remove loose rust, sand  
area apply rust-proofing

Same with front trunk sides as with engine area

Scrub wheel wells pressure was remove loose rust and dirt apply rust- 
proofing

Scrub bottom of vehicle pressure wash, remove loose rust and dirt  
apply rust-proofing

Next is drilling into non exposed areas, pressure wash what can be  
pressure washed remove loose rust and dirt apply rust-proofing, put  
body plugs back into drilled holes. Some areas this will happen to is  
cowl, around front and rear windows, lower body not easily accessed,  
etc.

Any suggestions or comments. Anyone ever seen a website specifically  
for Corvairs ? Ziebart shop says they cannot find anything off hand  
but is still digging through archives
