That's bad rust. push on it. I bet your finger goes straight through it.
that's at the point I'm afraid, that you're gonna have to cut it out and patch in new metal. a minimum repair would be to cut the area out to good clean metal, and prime the edges so that the rust doesn't spread.
it's amazing how fast scale rust like that will spread, but a clean edge will stay solid for a long time.

Cancer. Cut it out and patch.
Agree. I'd get taken care of now, matching up the paint as well as possible. That way its ready for the overall re-paint next year. With that kind of rust, the quick fixes last 3 months or until the first rain... whichever comes first.

Chip, scrape and wire brush away all the loose rust. Clean with brake clean or final prep. Brush on Miracle paint with a new/clean chip brush. Top coat with spray bomb to cover Miracle paint. It'll last many years and not rust anymore than it is now. Get the black and use the leftover on frame and chassis stuff. Follow the directions about storing the leftover paint (don't remove the lid). http://www.hirschauto.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MIR-QUART
