Cinnamon 75 Duster \
Checking out your thread. Great job! I can see you got into some areas I did not ... treating inside A pillars, etc. Your fenders look good. Here's what I was referring to-
This is the donor fender and my original re-enforcement bracket. My fender was surface rusted over almost the entire area behind the other piece, yet only a couple pinholes went through. I patched the lower skin on the other side, so never separated the inner piece on that one.
My original point was that I think its nuts to spend a lot on a paint job. The guys spending 10K+ on a paint job are often trusting a shop with their repair work and may not be doing any of these steps to find/ get rid of hidden rust. There is just no way you are going to get it all! Based on what I saw, I am guessing that (like me) you will be painting yours yourself? I'm going a step further and keeping mine the original color, which is about as close as you can get to the color of rust. LOL
