There is an excellent disk to use on your side angle grinder to quickly remove rust, paint or debris from metal and it is non destructive so it won't remove any material from the sheet metal.
Polycarbide disk

I have used those before; they work great for stripping paint and stuff. My only complaint about them is they wear out fast. At $5-6 each it can get expensive quick!
I am going to shoot some protective paint up the inside of the door pillar. Eastwood sells a paint for that purpose with an adapter hose you stick up there. Or I can do what Dan did, and use a paint brush on a paint stick and paint some POR-15 or Rust Encapsulator up there. It would be very difficult to actually remove surface rust from inside the pillar area. Maybe I can try using a wire brush to get some of it off.
