Very soon I will be finished rebuilding the engine on my 1943 Farmall H. I am not going to show it in the near future, and will mainly be glad to get out of my garage for a while. That being said, I don't want it to get rusty while I save for the sandblasting and painting. I do intend to work it while it waits for the next stage. Should I leave it bare, prime only, or what? Maybe someone has another option I havn't listed. Thanks.

If you are planning on giving it a final blast before painting, I"d slap a coat of epoxy primer on it for now. That will keep it from rusting at all for a long time. Epoxy is about the only primer that is really waterproof.
