Default Re: Stainless steel(rusty)

mike-- i agree. i have never seen rusted model a or 32 stainless no matter where it has been. however i`ve seen quite a few 34 headlite shells with little specs of rust on ones that have been sitting outside for along time here on the west coast. you can buff it off easily though. ford must have used different stainless on 34 headlite shells. all the ss trim on my `57 olds was highly magnetic much to my surprise but i never seen any rust. i have garden hose racks that i made by spot welding 304 stainless together and have had permenent brown rust stains only on the spot weld indents when left outside. you can sand it off but it always comes back.
