Default I can relax now

Kinda of a stupid post but felt like sharing. After all these years of owning my vette and reading the posts on here, I finally took my kick panels off to inspect for rust. The underneath of the vette was pretty clean when I bought it except the back mounts by the tank, they needed to be replaced but everywhere else was pretty rust free. the window frame has a little rust behind the trim that I can see, will repair it when I put the new window. Well all these years I was afraid to look behind the kick panels and yesturday I did when I was doing some other work. Well I can rest, they are clean

So I guess FDR was right when he said "the only thing to fear is fear itself".

It's nice know you're driving a solid car.

I know exactly what you mean. I was gritting my teeth as I pulled off the kick panels on my 69. Mine passed too.

Excellent!

My project car was beyond surface rust, and into the 1st layer of rust scale.
