Cut up a parts car today. It was a one owner car out of NJ. Looked nice on the outside- actually really nice. No rust bubbles or obvious signs of corrosion. Inside was a different story. Some of the spot welded panels could be pulled apart by hand. The welds were so corroded that they failed in place. Besides the hell hole and all the typical spots, the cowl behind the blower fan and the front strut mounts had turned to dust. Car pretty much rusted from the inside out.

It was a very early ‘70. A lot of unique 1year only parts. The lids and doors were in great shape but the chassis was completely rusted through. I am saving most of the parts for a bare chassis that’s waiting to be built. I’m especially happy to get the wire harness and the removable muffler shield. I had stripped a majority of it down last year but winter, rain, laziness, etc kept me from finishing the job. Wife finally had enough and said to get rid of it.
