Engine and Transmission Sold

I managed to sell the engine and transmission. Got a dismal $350 for them but I'm glad they are getting used, and I'm glad to have it out of my relatively small garage. All that leaves me with is a 5 inch rear lift kit and a 1985 Toyota Pickup front axle.

The bumper and hitch are mounted on the truck they look great. I decided there wasn't enough rust to bother fixing, so on Lloyd's suggestion I coated the whole area with Rust Check spray and then put the bumper back on. With all that stuff off I had access with the spray that I would not have had otherwise. I would like to post a picture soon.

The next task on the list is to fix the little paint chipped spots. There are about 6 of various dimensions all around the car ranging from ball point pen tip to the other end of the ball point pen. Should be pretty easy to fix, my only concern is that one of the spots is not a paint chip, it is rust under the paint, I worry that this is a case where the rust is not actually surface rust. Technically speaking I think you are supposed to cut the area out, but that seems intense for a tiny little spot.
