    No kidding. Rust sucks. This time of year is a blast too. Car on hoist, sand and salt dripping all over you. Saltwater running down your arms heading for your arm pit. And yes it burns. luv my job luv my job.
    Love rust and seized parts on a flat rate system. They dont have a rust section in the warranty book.
    I get the same response to my car. Cant believe its not rusty.

    With a little time I'll get it finished. I messed up an sold the car once. One day I was looking on ebay and seen it on there. I called the guy I sold it to an bought it back. Now i don't care if it takes 10 years to get around to finishing it. It can set till I get time. I have to say I am get anxious to get it finished.

    Looks great other than there are no drain holes for water to get out.

    I did think of that but i cant drill them till the honey coat sets up. crest honey coat is great for coating in between two panels, it runs into cracks and places you cant spray, but that stuff takes about a week to set up enough not to run out of the drilled holes. i sprayed it through the 2 big holes on each side of the hood and the center hole the latch bolts to then set the hood so that it will run to the front.
    i will drill the drian holes next week when i drill the holes for the gt scoop. (y)

    Never heard of honey coat but sounds like a good product. I will have to check into it.
