I used a drill spinning a wire brush, Dremel wire brush attachments, & black& decker hand held mouse with 80 grit sand paper to throughly clean up the underside support beam of the hood. It did clean up fairly adequate for wiping down with acetone & then applying Rustoleum automotive rusty metal primer. I did patch the holes with JB Weld. The worst of the hood is on the side as you see in the pic. I will address that problem in due time.
