What he said...

All that has been said was my Exact point. I love these cars and have owned many (67-9), and still do own a 17K mile 68 Survivor. Very cool car, just not at 55K.

Those quarters are a bit rough for sure. But most people don't seem to mind it too much it on my rusty original paint Z16! :)

I've been driving it that way since 2007 or 2008, and it's no worse now than it was then. I cleaned all the loose stuff out, got rid of all the dirt and debris down in all the nooks and crannies, and oiled it all good from the back side. Seems to be holding its own for the last 15+ years!

I suspect it will outlive me ...

Jeff as you know I love that car as it sits. My favorite Chevelle for sure.

Exactly, as I’ve done this method in the past on a couple cars and it seemed to stop the spread of rust.
Rust doesn’t like oil. 👍
