Re: [T3] late model rust

[John Jaranson <johnj@grandnet.com>]

AnothC"U that contibutes significantly to the rust around
the windows is the UV light.  The UV light attacks the paint and
breaks down its protective qualities....allowing the metal
underneath to rust.  Southern coastal cars typically rust out on
upper surfaces that are exposed to the sun and to salt spray
(places like the rain gutters, vents on either side of rear
window, window frames, tops of fenders, etc.....

We almost never see this kind of rust in the salt belt (i.e. cold
northern states)  Our cars rust from the bottom up due to the
road salt and we don't get as much direct sun.

Hmmmmm....i wonder how hard it would be to section a T3....bottom
from Florida nad top from Minnesota.....8^)
