If you brought up rust free stuff, I could pretty much guarantee you
would double your money.

This is serious salt country and anything used is normally pretty rotten
or already salt compromised bad enough so you can see the repairs you
are going to need soon.

I looked at dozens and dozens of body tubs before saying screw it and
going fiberglass. Not one used tub I saw 'didn't' need at least one
perforation from rust fixed before I could use it. Not one!

So doors and body parts in good shape still command top dollar.

Oh, our Loony just went nuts or the US dollar took a dive, I don't know
which, that is why the exchange is so good right now. Not long ago in
June it was almost 40% or so as that chart shows.
