I don't know if the hidden areas that techweenie posted the great pics of (referenced by jkarolyi on p.1) are the same ones that Grady has posted about, but they will definitely require investigation.

I would wait until summer - it's dry then for one thing, and a lot warmer too -- then, I'd drill the holes, and stick hollow tubes up into the areas, connecting them to shop-vac or a hair dryer, or heat gun. I'd let each one run for a day or two.

Then I'd try to spray something up in there - rust remover or similar. Finally, primer, paint, and wax (got Tectyl?). Then plug the hole up before the rains start up again.

If you can get an illuminated borescope up in there, you'd be in great shape...

I should probably do that on my '73 too....
