Default Do c4s get rust issues with the frame?

I know the frame is galvanized, but I don't know just how much that helps. Just curious if there are spots on the frame, or anywhere else for that matter, that should be checked for corrosion.
Thanks

Only under the battery that I've ever seen and even that is pretty rare. This from a New England member. They love salt and brine here.

Thanks, jv. That's good to hear, especially from someone who sees snow and salt every year. That salt can be absolutely brutal on a car. Makes me remember the Pennsylvania cars, growing up in the 70s.
Probly gonna have a nightmare now.😅
