The frame had a coating of rust and I used the rust conversion coating directly to the evenly rusted steel. The conversion coating is still holding up well after 20+ years and three rounds of new wood decking.

   A BEECH NUT!! GREAT!     I got to fly one once from leaving the 
pattern to final approach, and loved it.  Expensive, but has sound and 
style  that beats all the other private twins for me, and far easier to 
find than a Lockheed Electra. When you fly the Beech, I think Amelia is 
smiling down at you.  If money were no object,  I would choose a  DC-3, 
but certainly fly more responsibly than Arthur Godfrey did in his.
