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.
