Did you just weld it or bolt through the bottom of the frame too?
Wire cup on my angle grinder, then hit it with some Metal Blast. It wasn't 100% rust free, but good enough to hit with Rustoleum oil based. The radiator support is borrowed from Hussey's build, and mine is just welded, no bolts. Thanks for the compliments!
