my 78 has one rust spot just behind the pass. side door but just a spot and the frame just behind the axle in front of the bumper. You could use POR-15 on the frame. Make sure to clean it and prep it good though. As far as the body have to either sand it down or cut it out depending how much it is and if it went through or not.

The main trouble spots are the rear section of the frame (from the wheel arch back), and the lower parts of the 1/4 panles before and after the wheel.
