==The "best" way to handle rust== The "best" way to do something often implies the existence of the "best" conditions in regard to skill, time, and money. For example, the "best" way to handle anything more than surface rust on body panels is to liberally cut out the rusted area, and weld in a patch panel. Ideally, any metal shaping and metal finishing should be done without the use of any body filler products whatsoever. Many people don't have the necessary skill to do this. The "best" way to handle surface rust on an entire body is to have it professionally dipped, often at a cost of over $1000. This amount of money may not be available for a specific project, or it may be impractical to invest it. If you take time to properly assess your own rust situation, you can choose a well thought-out solution that's "best" for you.
