After cutting away the badly rusted outer vent covers, the inside also has rust. And some rust-through spots. 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.

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.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
