Grady at al.,

Thanks for the specific information and the notated drawing. I must admit, my experience with corrosion resistance of cars is all based on much more modern vehicles (my first project car was a 77). Frankly, as I look at this, I have no idea what parts are fragile, what are not, what can be replaced, and what is impossible to find. So cautions like that are perfect and welcome.

I must admit, that I never thought that the sealed internal cavities would be a problem. This is really the type of information I need to get more familiar with the special issues that this special car requires.

I know more now and will give it a go over for rust again. I will bring a bore scope as well, so I will see if that will get me into areas where I can't get a camera. Obviously, the sealed areas will remain sealed...

Regarding the good warning about mag chloride. I was not even aware that the "salt" for roads has changed at all (see I am learning all the time.) This car will definitely remain sheltered in the winter and will probably see more spring and fall use due to the black interior and lack of air conditioning. Will I still be accelerating the corrosion if I drive only during these seasons?
