My 88 had that same spot go as well.. t was from the east coast.

If you can swing a deal on a CA or Arizona vehicle for the body and frame , do it!

I cannot believe how rust free blackie is. Red car was good but was from the deep south where i hear it actually rains!

And yes I have fixed my share of rust holes. I used a file folder holed for patch metal.
