I raked the leaves away from the edges so I and others could see the condition of the bottom edges of the junker. There is one spot on the right hand door that is indeed real rusted down.
My Dad looked at it, he says that many parts of the body, despite being rusty as heck, are actually still solid. I wonder what one of these experts could do if the rust was removed and it was repainted?
Another thing about it, the front bumper is dented. The story behind that is this: one of my second Uncles, when he was a kid back in the thirties or the early forties, took a joy ride in that thing. It was a working tobacco farm back then here. He crashed it into a tree (nobody was hurt). And left it there. On property that was my Grandfather's. And they never bothered to reclaim it, they just let it sitting there. My family has asked them if they wanted it, "no" is the answer and we own it by squatter's rights now. And it has been there since.
