    The problem with buying those "no rust" cars those guys are selling is that you cannot transport them. If you pull them out of their secure rust preventing garages and carry them home, they rust very rapidly on the trip home and by the time you get them to your house they are total rust buckets. I have long thought the car transport companies should add a rust prevention option to their services: something like those inflatable Carcoons they could load the cars in inside the transport trucks and pump in rust prevention vapor. Help prevent that rapid rust until you can put the car inside your rust prevention garage.

    I'm game.  Did you get his phone number?  Rust is no problem in our area.  I can just invite Hornman over to help grind it off.

    Seriously interested if you have contact info.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Thanks,
    A pretty nice 67 vert showed up on CL today for $17k, all done...  I like $10k better though.

     The problem with grinding off rust up north here in PA, you end up with some worn out seats sitting on a drive train.

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    Going to hold off until I can check out the one locally.  It is pretty much a finished car except for ugly mag wheels.
