Storage lasting longer than expected

I would have thought the spare cab would have been IN my garage by now and painted / restored... but the garage isn't even UP yet... the slab isn't even poured.

I'm facing job layoffs and a divorce and my youngest son was run over by a car a few months ago. Harrison's replacement cab is STILL sitting on stilts in the back yard and I'm worried as the months go by the "exterior rust" will turn to rust through. As the entire cab will be sanded down to bare metal during the restoration (when-ever the garage gets up....) is there something I should put onto the surfaces of it NOW so that it doesn't get worse?......

I feel he needs to be "sprayed" with something, but the cancer I'm spraying over will continue to spread I'm sure... but I don't have the space right now to sand everything down properly. It's a great cab ~ worthy of restoration.....

Any ideas gang?...

First i get it covered up, if its rusty i tneeds to be sprayed with a Rustconverter and top coated with a paint that it the cheapest way to hold the rust over for know.
