Selling my '77, question

Hello all;
I just put my '77 up on ebay and I have gotten a couple of queries regarding rust. It is a 100% California car and it appears to be rust free as there are no obvious signs of corrosion. My question, is there any easily accessible location where I can expose an area of the birdcage that is particularly prone to corrosion? I would like to take a photo of that and add it to the posting. If anyone is interested my car is the silver one located in San Jose, CA.

Jim

Thanks Marty. I just removed the cover plate in the rear wheel well just forward of the rear tire and took a photo of the bolt. Added it to the ebay listing, I think that should illustrate the point.

The "kick-up" section of the frame... the spot where it turns upward in front of the back tire- is very important.
