The trouble with old tube cars is they rust from the inside out. I'm not sure what people recommend if anyhting to treat that. I like to remove external rust by blasting but find sandblast gets in everywhere and you can tell where the car has been from the beach underneath it. I have used POR and the first time I tried some was on the back bumper of my truck in the rust belt, still going strong after 5 years. I like powdercoat also but find it shows every little scratch especially on the high gloss. It is put on at 400 deg so anything that doesn't like heat or could flake or bubble is not going to work under it. Keep researching you'll find what works for you.
