If I can get the rust at least removed down close to the metal then I can treat it with an automotive rust product that will seal the rust in prevent it from spreading, I will then seal it with something so it won't have a problem going forward. So far, we have been soaking in a distilled white vinegar bath overnight and the back is completely clear of rust and the top of the sheet is significantly lessened. There is still a good deal of sheet metal left under the rust and there aren't any holes through the sheet where there shouldn't be as far as I can see. A few more hours and it should be ready to neutralize with baking soda, then treat, and seal. Here's hoping.
-Edit- This is after I have finished the bath on the top and bottom shells. They are much better, but not perfect. I don't think I can get them any better with vinegar. I might be able to sand the rest of the rust down, but I cannot be certain. Here are some pictures -
What do you guys think? Keep going or seal and deal? It's significantly better than it was, that's for certain.
