Have you taken out your heater box yet? you may want to "poke" around the upperinside around the areas where the cowl and wall come together, as there was very little paint or sealer originally and this spot seems to collect water and debris.
Hopefully you wont have it looking like swiss cheese. If thats the case, you may want to remove the cowl b4 you blast it as you may also need to clean it up and fab some new metal to patch it. Also check around your freshair intakes (non A/C) as this is another area that rot can be hidden. Good luck and happy blasting
