I'll be patching the rust through spots obviously... I'd appreciate advice/insight on one thing, though... Should I return to the sandblaster to remove the rust and then repair, or should I seal the rust as is? This won't be a show car, it's to be a daily driver. http://i.imgur.com/4DTx2Vi.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/hljLNoy.jpg | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,065 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,065 | If the blaster is available, I'd go that way now that you have it exposed. Although the rust doesn't look that deep in most spots, I'm not sure I'd trust the rust conversion stuff to take care of it for the long term.
