Unhappy rust in my 93 240sx coupe

Hey everyone hows it going?

first off i just want to say that a few months ago I started a major project on my 240 by tearing everything out and stitch welding and installing a roll cage. Almost the very week i started this project hurricane season started and rain became a common forecast, as a result my 240 has acquired some rust in the seams where i welded and other places. I slaved trying to get as much of the rust out as i could, i used rust converter that turns rust into primer, rustolem primer that stops rust from spreading, and dynatron seam sealer to fill in the seam spaces, and then re primed a third time. My question is, is this going to be effective enough to stop the rust from spreading and eating away at my car. Ive alread put so much time and money into it I would hate to just see it slowly rust away. Also one last question if it wont stop the rust from spreading and getting wourse how long will you say it will last my car that is? The projects been done for about 3 or 4 months now and there doesent seem to be any visuel sight of rust in the seams underneath the calking and primer. Future thank.

I'm sure thats more than enough to stop the rust from ever coming back. Just spray paint will do the trick, since there is no air reaching the surface, so it seals it. Your good.

Also, check out POR-15. It effectively saps moisture out of rusty areas while wicking itself into the metal.
