I've known Tom for a long time...I'm ignoring the request to "not talk you out of it..." and I'm going to TALK YOU OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!
You've been at this too long to give up now. That rust is treatable...you had to sand it all again anyway. Just a test to see how commited you are.
Now...get out there, treat it...sand it...and let's go for a ride in this thing soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't make me drive up there and fix it for you!
