I suppose that sanding and priming or putting in new metal depending on the extent of the rust would probably be the recommended fix. There's also stuff called Extend (brand name) that is a rust sealant/converter. You scrape off the excess rust and then spray this on. It forms a bond with the rust (or maybe reacts with it), and leaves a hard black finish that can be painted. Pat Walsh, '71 Westy, walshp@camry.nawc-ad-indy.navy.mil
