My journey with rust!!

Well with a much lighter wallet and some good advice from some great folks on here my journey is near its end! The before an after will tell the story. The struggle was real, but I have learned ALOT along the way. Made some errors that did cost me more $ than it should have, however learning to DIY has almost been a therapy for me. Its such an amazing feeling when you accomplish even the smallest of things. I went from knowing how to change the oil to having a pretty well stocked garage I can work in an having no fear to attempt almost any repair on my truck. So thanks to all of the people who answered my simplest of questions with no judging to the ones I have blown up their DMs. Cheers to you all an a huge thanks!
