Hey Navy... I was working in the Camp Pendleton area today at Oceanside Harbor Dr. If you saw an orange CalTrans truck and some person hoeing the heck outta the weeds, that would've been me.  :)

See if these help. I did mine 2 years ago as I described in the 2nd thread & it's still squeaky clean thanks to a $49 Ebay car cover.

Do you have holes rusted through of just scale & surface rust? Do you have a welder & have you done any sheet metal work before?

If it's scale & surface rust You can pull the vents under the dash along with the heater core & get up in there to knock it loose & blow out the crud. POR-15 will go right over it & seal it from moisture.
