People often panic when they see rust. Deep pitting rust is one thing like dug up relics from Russia. But surface rust if you can catch it at that stage is usually not bad to deal with. The shock to seeing rust can be worse than what your looking at. I work with old machinery, machine tools and steam locomotives that have sat outside and collected rain and moisture that seldom dries up. This kind of rust causes more problems. Love the thread and to me this would of been a fun project. Thanks for posting an interesting thread. Regards, John.
