      i will add my opinion based on a biplane fuselage i welded in 1967 and my
      Tailwind made in 1968.
      i blasted and epoxy primed the biplane, the Tailwind is just barely coated
      with zinc chromate over mill finish tubing.
      The Tailwind is as good as the biplane, maybe better.
      i also had 2-Pacers, a 1950 and 1951, no blasting and no rust even in the
      struts.
