Did a little more after work tonight.

wire wheeled/sanded all of the surface rust off the rocker/door jamb. I used a little icing on the spot welds where the quarter was welded to hide any imperfections. ignore the paper covering the wiring, I couldn't get the masking tape in there.

I don't know what you're going to school for, but it looks like you have a VERY promising career in auto restoration.

yea there is some small pitts, but nothing I would consider bad enough to spend time filling.

Im going for criminal law. Not sure if i would want to do this day after day after day on other peoples cars unless I made a crazy amount of money to do it.

I was talking to the bodyshop owner today and he told me that the surface rust on the roof could comeback to bite me in the ass, he advised that I get rid of it completely and not just seal it up. I tried pretty much everything, sanding it wire wheeling it, I finally tried some muriatic acid and it seems to be doing the trick, its slow however it might take few days for the rust to be completely gone.

this is what I started with a couple weeks ago.

I soaked some paper towels to keep the acid from dripping off

doing work

all gone
