The differences between that frame and a real FRO would throw me off from a JT replica
Tange vs. Patco
Rivet vs. welded cable guides
Pinch bolt seattube vs. BMX clamp

Arguably. But its not right. Your frame is likely suspension corrected and if from the sounds of it you're going to run a right fork. I doubt it's going to matter much in handling... but its not right. At least four years too new for what you're attempting.
I can understand the Pro FRO restomod project, but my motto is anything worth doing (time, money) is worth doing right, like Kevin's JT C-26. But I can't understand getting into a project when you've got it wrong from the start.

Mike, u are off track. Where am I wrong from the start? This frame is the same frame as the disc version frame and none of them are suspension adjusted.
The susp adjusted frames came later- 1995/96 ->
It's a well known fact that the Pro FRO has better angles, better steel an better handling than the FRO.
I might have misread this thread from the start... but you're going to make a Tomac replica from it? If so, the frame is too new.
If you prep 4130 frame with rust preventer you wont see so much rust, you can pick up a can of rust preventer at your local Clasohlson, cost not so much maybe 3 euro, do it.
Some build tips for you:
1#
How about upgrading the frame with 2011 Yeti decals, drop-bars, D2 battery shifting and a Manitou 1 fork, that would look totally awesome.
2#
6" freeride fork, fenders (front and rear), drop-bar, magura drop-bar brakes, gazzaloddi on the front, 1.9" Smoke on the rear, repaint in black or red, drill and remove riveted cable holders, run full lenght cable hosing instead
