Thank you again. I have a grinder and will try that on the rust areas.
I need the D/A because I will repaint the entire lower area of the elky

Once I get my ducks in a row, I'll take before pictures of each of the
areas and post links. Then you all can see what I'm trying to do & get
specific guidance.
