Rich I see your point of view on this. You are very correct. I was thinking of the car in question that was showing very little rust that it in some way just might be worth more as a unrestored (dipped) timepiece. I am more of a corvette man even though I have a couple of Camaro's I do not run into the rust problems that those of you that are in the northern states have to deal with. Most of the dipped cars that I saw back when I ran my shop were left like a beer can and so thin that you were afraid to pop the clutch on one or it might flex the quarter panels too much and leave a dent in them.

I am a little behind on all this as I quit messing with collector cars and went SCCA Vette and Can-AM racing back in '80 and of course there are more and much better ways to do things and with better products avaible today.

I still love to see a survivor car left alone till it just has to be totally disasambled to protect it.
Almost all of my cars are low mileage midwest cars that are just grimy and not rust buckets from the northern salt on the roads.
