 It's a common procedure to apply body filler to bare metal, but it's not the "best" way to do it. User "badbob" on the HRBB says: "fillers get applied over bare metal every day and it's an acceptable recomended procedure, but applying a quality epoxy primer first adds corrosion resistance, durability, adhesion, and filler flexability. It just takes more time. Time that most people aren't willing to spend."
-===Accessing rust between interior panels===
-Pressure washer with pencil tip can knock everything loose out.
-"For the doors, and removeable panels that I can't get inside completely, I will simply pour the epoxy inside and slosh it around, and let it soak into the seams." -- by adtkart here: http://hotrodders.com/forum/need-more-info-rust-please-help-113166.html .
-Drill small holes, get a spray wand with a 360-degree head. Then, when done, weld the holes shut.
-Turn panels around to slosh rust remover around. Blow compressed air inside the panel.
-Cut hole in panel? Spray rust killer with garden sprayer?
-A mirror can be used to check areas for rust.
-Don't spray expanding foam. It absorbs water, and will cause more rust. It can also expand and cause the panels to push out.
