Great diy I have a little over 1 year experience at a body shop and give you guys a tip if your lazy and go the other route. make sure that they do cut and weld a new piece in. numerous shops just sand and bondo and this is known to reappear and to add to that 90% of shops dont garantee rust work.
As for the diy'ers this may sound crazy but take a ice pick or a hammer with a sharp end and hammer around the sorrounding area of the obvious rust. I know what you're thinking "and put more damage on my freaking car hell no!"
NO. reason being is that rust spreads like cancer and isnt detectable all the time. so while youre fixing the most obvious piece of rust, surface rust could have spread more outwards and is planning its next attack.. ive seen this a hundred times
so just food for thought
