This is near the engine and this part of the frame is double walled. If this spot was on a single wall part of the frame I think it'd rusted all the way through..I just had it sandblasted today and was underneath it tonight and am not sure what to do. Thoughts?

^^^^This what I would do also, if you don't get rid of all the rust or as much as you can it will come back in the same area.
