Just some comparisons of the voodoo magic body shops perform.....

If you're gonna do it, do it right.....

Thankfully, all nothing more than surface rust. I've attacked it with the angry tools, and then treated with rust proofer.
A few more pics of where we're at:

I've brought all the "black bits" home to treat, as my bodyshop man is having a well deserved week off on holiday.
