Default Old Project Needs A New Skin

I have been a member for a while but have never had any success with posting a build on here.

http://i38.tinypic.com/15fnlmb.jpg
I am sure some of you know what this machine in the above pic is, for those who don't...... It is a mill build gage for measuring the depth of bodywork (it uses sonar to measure the depth of bodywork). As I have been told, a new fender with Emt coat will read .8mill or less, collision repair standards are 10-15mill, Rust restoration/classic restoration standards are 20-25mill these are maximum worst case specifications on small areas.
My car was acid dipped and all metal work was done, the car was supposed to have been metal finished........ The mill gage shows different, average reading on my car is 50mill with some areas so deep it can not read them.
Here is some pics to show you the filler and rust issues.

I have been told that the whole car needs to be stripped to bare steel again to fix the above problems, I am not experienced in bodywork, so comments/help from those who know what they are looking at and know how to proceed would be appreciated.
Thanks

Why was my post edited to exclude the permission of the moderator?

I took the quote out as it wasn't necessary, you don't need permission to start a thread or post pics (as long as they are G Rated).

I was never asked to resize since it included a link to steves nova site with the same pics, the pictures were not posted here, I have the pm from the administrator saying it was removed because of content

Either way, I am sure his one will be edited or deleted as comments are made by other members of the site.

Thank you for allowing this thread even if it is short lived

The thread with a link to the Nova site was removed because once you clicked the link it was exactly the same post you had on here before that was closed. I asked you to re-size the pics, and told that's why they were removed from the closed thread. No problem posting the pics and asking for ideas or suggestions how to proceed, just get the pics into the normal 640 by 480 resolution size or similar. The post will not be edited or deleted unless it turns into a vendor bashing thread again.
