Sigh. Back to the fire based solutions.

These are not bubbling. Bubbling areas are slated for complete replacement (fenders and back corners).

Trying to avoid a complete repaint. At least until I have some part replaced.

Opted for rust stop crap. Not able to warm the barn up enough to prime/paint. Not super interested in brining body parts in the house.

Good news, on a suggestion from Aussie Locker Bill, I actually opened the front diff. No metal in the diff fluid at all. All the teeth on the ring looked good, the pinion teeth seems good too (hard to see, but even shine through full rotation of ring). I wouldn't expect "just a bad bearing" to make the amount of noise I'm hearing. I would expect it to be more like a wheel bearing grind type sound.

[/size]Managed to get the hood off to bring inside to do the hood paint "right". Right is relative since all I'm trying to do is stop the rust. It will be uglier then it was when I started when I put it back on MLC.

Inside means grind/sand till the metal shows. No point in carrying it inside to do it halfway. Just not stressing on the paint being pretty yet.

Got front diff cover back on. Thanks to Mark for some quick advice.

Hood is now rust free. Did the inside stuff first. Hope to make the outside a little nicer. The "flat" spots where the worst rust was will likely show a bit. Not worth the effort if putty. Should have primed, painted and back on MLC by next weekend.

Any reason to replace the tie down loop on the hood? Snapped when removing it.

So getting ready to do top of hood when I realized that the area under the hinge (where hinge bolts to hood) is in painted on hood and hinge. I cleaned rust/corrosion off there. Prime and paint it? Or do I need more drastic protection?

Rust is gone. Nice shiny metal. How to keep it that way...

Not a typical area of concern.  Prime and paint.
