I live and grew up in the rusty midwest. Patching floors is like second nature to me, I'm used to the lower foot of a car being rusted out toast. I always thought us midwest guys were at a disadvantage in the old car hobby. Well, being burned by a recent experience just reminded me maybe us rust belt guys don't have it so bad....
Midwest lore has it that California cars are the ticket for a rust-free solid car. These following pictures will make us rust belt floor patching guys not feel so bad about living in the midwest. I did win a $20 bet from a buddy who could not believe a california car could ever be so rusty.
Disclamer: I realize that this particular 'black plated' lark wagon is not indicative of all California cars, but roof jungle rot is sure a concern if I ever buy another car from out west. When was the last time one saw a rotted roof and upper structure rotted on an Indiana car. Sure is easier to patch floors then roof drip edge and roof structure.
