Its amazing how the inner upper part is a moisture trap and was the rustiest spot on the inside of the fender.

I totally agree with this, and did the same thing. Coat the entire bottom inside of the door with POR 15....a small hole drilled in the rear will also let water run out if any gets in there due to old rotten window sweeps. A small can of POR 15 is about 8 bucks, and is MORE than enough to do the doors
