Oh, you noticed that! I like to stay away form issues about philosophy on
getting rid of rust on body work. That is a very subjective
issue. There are about as many theories as there people to have them. My own
is to take it to a sand blast company and let them media
blast all the rust, bondo and whatever is lurking under the paint and start
with a clean palate
It may be overkill in some cases (and perhaps in yours) but I like to know
exactly what is there!!

Have you seen the Macao Spit? It was (is) silver, and a beautiful race car!
