Well Gus,
That’s not an easy restoration. The problem is that most of the rust is on double panels. For instance, the hood has a “skin” that is wrapped around the inner frame. You have to get to the rust on that inner frame, which means pulling back the outer panel and repairing or cutting out the rust on both pieces. It’s a lot of skill and work.
Hope that makes sense.
And as far as the wheels….thats not rust. They are aluminum and aluminum doesn’t rust. It’s a corrosion called electrolysis. When you sand off the paint, you will find a white powder that is the corrosion of the aluminum. Really typical around salt air.
I all comes down to dollars and sense.
Are they offering it a a fair price?
