I got the frame repair kit from ebay, about $35. This remedies the severe rust at the very back of the frame. Get a professional to install it for you. I also used a few cans of Eastwood Internal frame coating. Try to spray out as much loose scale with a pressure washer first, allow to dry thoroughly, and spray the INSIDE of the frame. I also like Rustoleum Rusty metal Primer, about $40 a gallon to coat the outside of the frame. Finally, spray with Eastwood black. Hope this helps. Good luck - Jim.
