If EYE were doing a really quickie/crummy "restoration" , I would paint DIRECTLY OVER the nasty rusty crusty corroded..... (as long as there were no actual rust-thru ; I have my 'principles' )...... undercarriage , with something like POR, and then, I'd apply rubberized undercoating to the undercarriage, effectively burying/entombing the corrosion under a brightshiney ROUGH surface !!!! Of course, if I were really sneaky (I mean: "astute") I would disc-sand the frame rails "down" to a smooth surface, and then apply Rustoleum to them, so that the gloss-finished frame rails would contrast nicely with the semi-gloss appearance, of the undercoating. Same thing, with the axle housing: knock-down the pits/roughness, and make it "shine". The springs really should be R & R'ed , and disassembled, for stripping/refinishing--too hard to make them "pretty", while they're still installed on the car----DARN it!!!
