    Not sure how bad the rust is... But if it is till surface rust sand it off... Got told by a pannel beater to use a flathead screwdriver to dig out the rust and then putty it. So water will not get in there and then paint over it.

    i did mine myself but replaced the winscreen at the same time... used a grinder with a wire wheel then copper welded the holes up ground back smooth, prep,paint, then got a pro to put in a new w/screen for me, its pretty easy but also depends on how bad the rust is
    Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!

    grinding back and wire bit on a drill is good for the top but on the other side of the metal it will still have rust and in a few years itll work back though, personally i think while its there infront of you stripd and ready why skip the job and bodge it up to only fix later. do it while its there and exposed properly
