Hi everyone.  I have an 88 camaro project that was on hold for last few years but I am trying to get back into it.  2 summers ago I spent entire summer scrubbing and mediablasting underside.  All metal that was uncovered was immediately treated with zinc phosphate solution(picklex 20).  Then I started painting(Zero Rust) a little beforing having to stop everything for the winter.  In the spring, some 5 months later I found fresh rust coming back right through the paint.  Car was in the garage the entire time.

Now I need to figure out how to proceed.  Last thing I want is spend another summer doing the same thing.

1) One option i was thinking of is having entire frame acid dipped.  Anyone know of a place within 6-8 hour driving distance from Rochester, NY (western NY)?

2) Does anyone happen to live in the area who can stop by and possibly share some wisdom?

3) I belong to several very active forums that discuss LS1/LT1 engines and 3rd/4th gen f-bodies.  However most people on those forums do not restore these cars.  Is there a good restoration forum where I can find more people doing this type of thing?

4) can anyone offer any general words of advice?
