How should I treat the rust on the inside of the foot well. this area is one of those never exposed areas that hadn't been treated by the factory. Rust doesn't look bad and I probably can't do anything but treat it with some sort of rust inhibitor or encapsulator.

Don't worry about the holes I will get those all cleaned up and oval-ed out. Should those holes be chamfered to limit possible cracks?

I have to ask . . . . why hole saw the longitudinal?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

There are two holes on the inside (passenger compartment) longitudinal of the vehicle that you can access the longitudinal though for the purposes of cavity wax, Eastwood frame paint, etc.

Likewise, now that you have holes what are you going to do to prevent water from getting directly into the long? Hopefully re-welding them closed when done.

You can also access the area on the inside footwell (both sides) via the holes in this little section of mini frame that is underneath the fuel tank. There is one hole on top under the area where the anti-roll bar is and you can see the other one that is lower pretty clearly.
