Hi again folks
As I continue my search for the right car, and get great feedback from the board every time, I am fielding a steady stream of pictures in from sellers.
Here is my objective: Find a GT6 with a sound foundation that I can work on with my 14 year old son. I am not sure that I want a concourse quality restoration but getting to something that I can be proud of and that I can pass on would be great. I have rebuilt a motor and replaced fenders but that was many many years ago. None of those tasks put me off right now but putting too many of them together may buy us a car that will never get out of the barn. I am not opposed to removing a body and having a frame blasted and painted and doing the same with the shell. Rebuilding a motor could be fun, especially if it was an extra and the current one worked well enough to enjoy the car while the rebuild took place.
I definitely trying to avoid a serious rust bucket.
With that said, I have the following car available.

This paint is reported to be over 10 years old.
I see a bit of rust but it has been so long since I have dealt with such symptoms, I thought I would ask the medical staff here at the board what they think. Do you think we are dealing with rot or surface rust.
Thanks again
Jack
