Reply to "Drain Holes"

I printed out the Dinitro/Dinol diagram and it seems to me that this company is pointing out drill holes to inject rustproofing material into parts of the body that are exposed to salt air. Sweden is obviously close to the ocean, much closer than most of us in America. It is pleasurable to me to know they take rust proofing seriously. And on that note, I'd like to know if I could obtain the rustproofing service that Dinitrol/Dinol offers in America. So, if anyone knows, I'd like a referral. I'd drive my Pantera anywhere in the USA to get this service performed. Even drive through the rain, 'cause it's not a problem yet, but I'd like to keep my Pantera in a condition that Alejandro de Tomaso would be proud of!

But, I really doubt I'll obtain such a referral, so I'll be happy to have an opinion on where to drill drainage holes, because my car is not exposed to salt air, or even much rain, for that matter. And it has never been exposed to salted roads.

After inspecting this vehicle completely, it also occurs to me that the front cross member needs a drain hole. It is about $1,500 to replace and my cross member shows signs of water/dirt evaporation, so it didn't drain in the past, just evaporated, like our lakes out here in the Desert Southwest during this drought.

We welcome rain in the desert, but the thunderstorms can develop quickly....

I'll provide updates for drainage holes as I learn through various means and keep all posted, thanks for any more suggestions.
