Get something to break away the large loose scale and then just brush,pour,spray POR-15 however you can get it in there.

First be sure it's rust and not just the lumps of dry calking rattling around. Opinions will vary on rust repair but I would only consider one of two ways; A. drill the welds, split it open, cut out and replace any rust, seal it with a good etching primer/sealer, weld it back together. The hood is clean, just some heavy scaling that is falling out of it. Dosen't need rust repair yet, so I'm trying to fix and future problems. B. Sent it out to have it dipped, replace any missing areas when it comes back, seal as above. As above scott, the hood isn't needing repair, just trying to stop it from getting worse. C. Find a rust free hood (might be the best option) find a nice 1972 charger power bulge hood is vertually impossible. I have had 7 bulge hoods in 20 years. My last one went on Kenny Waynes charger and that only because the one on the Rallye charger I got was that clean. I do appreciate you answering my questions there scott.

I might see if I can get some large seringes or turkey basters in those crevices, then maybe see if the por15, rust bullet will work in there. Hate to ruin the nice paint that could be buffed out.

stay away from por-15
I'll second that!
Take if from someone who's been there and done that.
I'm still amazed at the people on here that use POR-15 despite members repeatedly telling them how much crap it is!

if it was mine, I'd fab up a long "valve cover" tray out of sheet metal, seal it with silicone or something, take the hood off and set it lip first into then tray, filled with Rust desolver from either Eastwood, or the farm store. the safe okay for your hands stuff. Let it soak for a week at most. Pull it out, keep it front lip down and go to the "underside" of it and clean the insides with some prep-all or wax removed in a can, rinse out with a water hose, and air dry it with compressed air. THEN..finally.., take some rust zero, rust bullet, Rust encapsulator by Eastwood whatever you prefer and pour little bits into the openings, move hood around to cover well. I'd also spray some rust encapsulator from a can in there to cover and other areas the pouring didn't help Thats just what I'd do though.

The biggest issue is that regardless of how well you follow the instructions (with prep, etc.) it delaminates, bubbles, and peels off.
So, sealing my gas tank patch with it was a bad idea???
