MTU, I understand now! The only problem you might have is when grinding the rust, you might run out of metal! For this application I would suggest sand blasting the rust pits out. Not with a big heavy duty industrial sand blaster, just something with enough pressure to take the rust out of the pits.

I would then use some spot primer to fill the holes. You can get the kind thats in the tube. Its usually red. I call it redcap, but other people have different names for it. Just be sure to give it plenty of time to cure, that stuff shrinks like crazy!! This way you can eliminate having to use bondo. The spot putty is much easier to sand too!
