this awhile back, but have been living in fear ever since.
As far as the rest of you living in denial, you should probably check that area.

I recently also removed another pound or so of road grime/gravel from above the A/C hoses in that same wheel well, but there are no signs of rust, at least inside my boot/trunk.
Kroggers, you may want to look up there also if you haven't done so, but I'm guessing you have. I thought for sure the driver's side wing/fender would need to be removed to do this job, but apparently not. That's comforting.
Keep us posted on your progress.
