hey mouse sure its easier to start with a rust free car but one saved from the crusher with new sheetmetal and skilled work is a thing of beauty. Me personally i live in a rust belt so it doesnt scare me. I just cut and weld in a patch.i can just about do it with my eyes closed ,lol!
Arizona,nevada lots of the southern states all seem to keep bodies well preserved. But by the time you get a car up here to canada have you really saved anything?
