The car had body work to the typical mustang rust sopts. It was to be done in fiberglass but bondo was used.

Anytyhing I can do to arrest this problem? Bubbles are seem forming in the lower front Doors under the rocker stripe.

Do I just wait till its bad enough and have a body shop patch and match?

hate to say it but you either have to break the paint and grind down the runs/repair with a patch panel or wait till it gets worse.

Fiberglass is the wrong way to repair rust,using bodo is okay when its in thin skim coats. the rust was never repaired properly,period.

Ditto that. Rust is one of those areas where it's absolutely necessary to cut out every speck of rust, weld in new metal and be done with it. Fiberglass, bondo and keeping your fingers crossed never, ever works. Never.
