On a few places on my '76 tweener there are little tiny rust bubbles. Should I leave them alone or open them up and treat them with anti-rust paint?

My 'little bubbles' became the size of oranges or watermelons. Once begining to clean I'd see more metal getting infected. Some areas it would even look like you could stop wire brushing- but I'd suspect more in certain directions (even under perfectly good looking paint) so I'd give it a go, and low and behold..... [insert rust gremlin smiley].
So I would wirebrush, metal etch, water rinse, acetone dry, and zero rust paint. I think I got it under control now. Took about 1/2 of each trunk down to bare metal, as well as entire floorpans, firewall, ect. |
