As shown on my build thread, I am working on the rear of the body, including the trunk lid. This is a donor lid I got last year to replace the rusty original.
Now with the work I was doing to straighten the new lid edge, I found rust where I thought was clean--should have known better. Attached thumbnail(s)

I encountered this same crap on my trunk lid. I ended up dissecting, removing as much foam as possible, using phosphoric acid, and finally coating with master series before welding back up. The clean metal got a coat of epoxy primer and then seam sealer before paint. I'm pretty confident in the repair, it should hold up another 45 years.
