We do have a problem with rust back east. Damp and cold with salty winter roads. I am sure rust is everywhere but Southern California and the Arizona area I think is best for buying used sheetmetal and cars. Water, salt, snow,ice and road grime lay in the small cracks and areas of the sheetmetal all winter and do its dirty work. Yes, west coast sheetmetal is a pretty much top priority for me when used sheetmetal is needed. I love you west coast guys you lucky dogs! Love the Napa Valley wine too.
