Agree.... mine was blasted, frame off, spider coated. line-x interior of passenger compartment before upholstery . Had a 69 Lemans when stations in Tuscon AZ.... zero rust of course due location I suspect ..... great cars, Malibu was a cheap and great little sleeper with a triple nickel crate engine shoehorned into it. New parts, trim etc , replaced the dash..... great grocery getter.
how is real rust repaired? some of those side panels, roofs, and hoods are unavailable or fiberglass knockoffs.
