Re: common rot areas
Fenders... specifically coming up from the chrome trim, and the front fenders where the fiberglass nose meets the metal. Under the doors, and the corners of the doors (see my post on door rot repair) The rail along the upper back door (Where the smaller window sits). The chassis where the control arm meets the frame. ALL brake lines and gas lines. Floor pans (won't notice until its too late unless you're under the car often).

Re: common rot areas
thanks guys. i just got my car, its nearly mint and im petrified of it rotting (i live in massachusetts). i want to keep this car for as long as i can, once i dont drive it daily, its getting a 502 big block. i think i may spray the chassis with oil for the winter. is this a good idea?

Re: common rot areas
fenders seem to be the last thing to go
on the older ones they like to rot all way through across top of winshield frame behind the chrome dont forget drivers floor board coat the inside under the carpet there too

Re: common rot areas
Yeah, I forgot about the windshield frame... my car actually had some rot through up there at the top when I had my windshield replaced. Pack the upper area of the windshiled with grease and then put the chrome trim back on.

Re: common rot areas
Oh yeah, and if your gonne cover the chassis with something, use grease instead of oil because oil will wash away over the course of maybe a month, maybe more, maybe less, depending how much weather your car is faced with.
