Editing Rust

==Notes==
*Rust encapsulators are common in the hotrodding industry. Some feel that they won't get rid of a problem, and may make it worse.
*Some people feel that minor surface rust of body panels is treatable, but everything else must be cut out and replaced with new metal.
*To remove surface rust, use naval jelly and steel wool.
##Work in small areas, not larger than a square foot.
##Apply jelly with 000 steel wool, rub it in, and allow it to set for a couple of minutes. Don't let it dry.
##Rub again with steel wool. Repeat a few times, and then clean the area. Dry it immediately.
*Body panels can be sand blasted. However, it must be done carefully. The pressure of the sand hitting the body panels causes warpage.
*There are so many different products and approaches for handling rust, that it can be mind-boggling for an average hotrodder.
