Dirty rotten scoundreles

[cycledog]

Was working on the Stude today. There was a rust spot where I didn't think a rust spot should be. Started to grind it out and this is what I found.

Believe it or not next to the front floors this is the worst rust spot on the car.
And I know what caused it .....Dirty rotten rodents.

They managed to squeeze into the pocket of the trunk hinge! Rusted from the inside out from rodent urine.

Have seen this before. When working on my old scooter Under the seat was almost gone......

A lot of the old trucks here have the header and front roof rusted out from decades of mouse hotel. They will be packed full of the old cotton from the seats.

Go for a ride

My friend stopped over yesterday and said jump in. We headed outside of town to look at some cars in a dam, thought he might find a 1/4 panel for his 57 Courier. Sorry, didn't have the time to come back home for a camera. All rusted hulks, 4 53-56 Oldmobiles, 50, 51 and 56 Fords and a 37 Slantback that still has a good set of headlight buckets & stands and windshield frame. Nothing else good there. Then we drive over the hill and find 4 old Mopars, pretty stripped out and beat up, a 64 Dart 2 door hardtop with bucket seats, a 56 Dodge Coronet and about a 64-65 Chrysler 300 4 door hardtop that also had bucket seats. Not much left of them but the 56 Dodge has good 1/4 panels, make cool bedsides for that 55 Dodge 5 window I have yet to bring home from Montana.
