Hey peeps, how do you contend with localized body rot? I'm speaking of the put-your-finger-thru variety. This is on the right rear corner of a Suburban "86" and continues to the nearest window corner.

I think this is where the rear A/C suction/liquid lines route and they cause excess moisture here.

I want to completely revamp this vehicle. Blueprint the engine, turbocharge it, convert to electronic fuel injection, leather the upholstery, etc, etc. But if I can't solve this rot spot I will have to put this noble steed down. <shudder>
Cut out the rust. Weld in new panels when available, make your own when they're not. Undercoat the back of the repair. Fill (if ness.) prime and paint the panel.

That's the shortened readers digest version.
