If you are going to strip it it shouldn't be of any concern. Just be certain to prepere the bare metal before priming/painting. I usually start with metal prep and then a coat of epoxy primer. You can do body work over the epoxy and it seals off the bare metal from further rust. Take some pics..........

ok what is spi and then what you shoot next i? have a hard time with putting body filler over any primer after it is sanded ,of course that was the old school way, i had a company rep convince me to try shave door handles by bonding the filler panel instead of welding well it looked good ,6 months after it was painted you could see a read out and the paint blistering at the seams i still weild in my metal it is guarntee!I appreciate your input SHINE,by the way any relation to Jimmy at SOCAL Speed shop

if you go into builders corner to the 57 corvette i'm doing you can see the results. i used only spi epoxy, no 2k primer at all.
