How do you treat rust inside doors?

This is on an old 65 Mustang for which I've seen rust on the lower, inside of just about all of them I've ever restored [at least to some degree].
The problem is that there is two layers of metal on the front bottom of the door where the rust builds up. The other problem is that the rust is in just about all old, factory doors, nor is there a patch panel for this spot.
I'm going to fab up a patch panel, but I want to treat the inside of the door with something to keep the rest of the door from deteriorating from rust. I really don't want to buy a Chinese knock off door, nor do I want to fab a whole lower, interior panel.
I figure to just use the old, pink Navel jelly on the rust, but my question is what to put over the metal after the Navel jelly? [ I've tried, and used POR15 in the past, and I really didn't like it.]
ETA: I will cut the worst of the rust where its come through, and weld in new metal. I just want to treat the rest of the inside of the door with something to keep the rust from returning.
