How do you keep the inside of the newly fabricated radiator support from rustimg? Spray paint inside and slosh it around?

Hi John. How are you?

Yes it has been 4 years since the first post. Car is fast approaching final stages after a massive undertaking.

My repairer is Adrian from Impact Panel Works here in Brisbane (Marooka). He comes highly recommended!!!
