We are using wire wheels on the grinder, wire brushes, and anything else we can find to dig rust out. Patch panels, bondo to smooth it out, fiber glass, under coating.

Found an old door to make the patch panels

nobody out there can media blast it or dip it for you? its probably not as much as you think, and probably the only way your going to get all the rust anyway.
