    Here is the description from an ebay auction: The body is mostly solid with the exterior showing normal paint fade and slight surface rust due to age and weathering.

    Would you call this slight surface rust ??

    Yea, I saw that one. I guess "slight" is a relative term.

    I never knew surface rust went throught the metal. I guess that's why it's called surface rust, right???? :D :D

    ITs surface rust. Top and bottom of the inner and outer panels as well as on the surface of the edges around all the rust holes. See, it just depends on how you look at things.

    I agree, how many times have we seen that one! Almost makes it sound like it should start right up after sitting there for that long without any problems. :D
