Need more info. What do you mean by "in the sheet metal"? Where are the bubbles? How large are they? How many? On all panels?
You specified "new" bubbles. Are they different than the old bubbles?
Work with us and we'll work with you.

Most of the bubbles appeared in the rear quater panels down low. They are quarter to half inch in size... My best guess is rusting thru from other side... I'd like to stop the rust ffor now till we get to the body work.... Anything I can spry or paint on the back side????

IF you can get to the other side of the panel, you can try painting some POR15 over the rust. However, if you poke at the bubbles with an awl you will probably find that the area has already rusted through. Eventually, you will have to weld in a patch panel AFTER cutting away ALL signs of rust.
