Also, you mentioned that it took you 5 years after joining the forum to get used to doing rust repair. How long have you been working on this truck? I think this year will be the 7th anniversary of getting my rust-bucket.
Not to get used to it but to convince myself I could do it.

No paint booth anymore, I tore it down as I needed the space in my garage (where my truck doesn't fit), My trucks home is nothing more than the cheap car covers you can get at Harbor Freight or Pep Boys. Since I have started working on the truck to now the side yard has become a dry dusty dirt pile, far from ideal.

I lost track of time for how long I have been working on this truck but this repair thread was started on sept 2013, I think I joined about 2007? but I think the rust repair was about 2.5 years alone maybe longer if you include the down time, it took longer doing the first side than the second.
