OK so if I have rust repairs to do...whats the best to do for restoration...blast the body, and put a sealer on right after its been blasted? then grind back and do rust repair then put sealer over thet new metal? then filler, then high build then top coat? or?!?! any advise would be awesome

I would get the body blasted then primed with an epoxy primer. Sheet metal rusts very quickly. You can apply filler over some brands of epoxy primer. Check with the manufacturer to be sure. Basically the process would be blast body, epoxy prime, do body repairs, epoxy prime, high build prime, possibly another seal coat, then top coat. That's the way we do it. Check with your paint supplier for the stages and procedures recommended for the brand of paint you go with.
