Need pics...........

I went through this a few years ago - cut out all rust and welded new metal in place. I also cut holes in places so I could see inside to check for rust, could do it with a camera now. Then a bare metal respray in my garage.

Everything you are planning on doing someone here has most likely already done it and would be happy to give advise, so go for it.
