What's the best way to stop the rusting underneath the rocker panel boards without replacing them?

Two different good do-it-yerself products are made by POR-15 and Eastwood:

  I have had good results with the POR-15 system.  I used their  fiberglass mat along with the POR-15 paint to patch some pinholes in  the trunk of my '71 Imperial and was pleased with the results.  I  think POR-15 probably works best on metal that is not going to be  easily visible, such as
 trunks and panels under the car (based on the  relative difficulty of topcoating or painting over POR-15).  The  Eastwood product will likely yield better results for body panels that  will be painted and viewable.
  
  Best luck!  Catch it now, because it will only get worse over time.
