Is that yours, Jesse?

no, that's one of the CobraAutomotive projects, mine needed far less extensive work

There is no such thing as "rust spots getting fixed with out new metal."

Just "rust spots being what I thought was fixed and covered up for a period of time. I'll probably see it again in a year or 2 or even way less if I don't know what I am doing"

New metal is the only way to for sure kill rust.

Lord knows I have removed filler over bondo over rust. It does take much just a small tap of a hammer.

Their is a reason why its called Cancer. If you miss one spot it will come back stronger than it was before. Get a welder and get to patching.

I assume you mean more along the lines of "cars getting patch panels instead of full replacement sheetmetal" which is what I would call a proper "repair". Just rust converter and filler won't be enough.

And I have a final shot with the bodywork done but its not in my photobucket account yet.

Sometimes its easier to just replace the body panel like a fender.
