I guess you have to live in a 'salt state' to know what just one application of salt does to a car... 

[C5X DAYTONA]

Salt is a killer but it does wash off.  Your example is not entirely accurate.  You post a picture of a car sitting out in the weather.  Not the same.     Your DC 93 is a complete pile of rusty junk.  It was never driven on salt roads.  Now the Isaac Daytona has been on the salt.  And for 500 + miles.  And quess what.  It's not rotted.   45 years has gone by.  In fact.  It is the best example by far of an original race Daytona..   Cars rust here in sunny California with NO salt.   Water is the enemy, the salt just speeds up the process.   My Daytona has been on the salt many times.   Guess what.   No rust.   I spent well over 8 hours washing out the frame, rockers, 1/4s, wheel wells etc.   All gone.  Don't believe me?  Come over and you can lick my car and tell me what I missed.

That is quite the picture though....I keep telling myself I will NEVER buy another rusty car....my kids and wife just laugh.

For the record, DC-93 is NOT a complete pile of rusty junk. But I value your opinions. That is what makes the hobby fun!

You know all day while I was working on the Daytona's I thought.  " I hope he didn't take that comment wrong."  The one about the rusty pile.   I know it's not a rusty pile of junk.  Not in my book.   Most would run from a major project like that.   Idiots like me.  Run to them...

Damn! What's the story on this one?

No idea...  Just googled rusty charger!

[Charger_Fan]

The story of that car has been posted here before...but searching "rusty Charger" doesn't get you very far for some reason.

[wingcarenvy]

I have been to Bonneville many times (crewing for the "Got Salt" car) and what we do is run a sprinkler under the car for a few hours moving it around as well as pressure washing and flushing the hard to get to parts. The salt isn't as harsh as you'd think when its applied dry. The pictures are priceless though. A little clean up is worth the pictures for sure!!

[500Jon]

Yeah thats right, Salt is harmless when dry, just go easy with it on ya HoT DoGs...

But now I have spent 20 years restoring a 71 Gtx from Canada, I know what it can do when you mix it with SNOW and SLUSH...

Fortunately my C500 is from Florida, but like me here in England, there's a lot of COASTLINE too!!!
There's plenty of WET salt in the sea and in the AIR near the sea...

Just because its from a 'DRY State' don't mean its aint RUSTEE...

''rusty pile of junk'', someone said that about my C500?
All it needed was a trunk floor and a repair to the lower quarters...
Seems some Folks haven't seen what most Mopars look like before a rebuild?

[Homerr]

Jon, that pic looks like fire damage.

[500Jon]

Probably is fire damage Homerr, followed by INSTANT rust!
I rebuilt a fire damaged car once, it seems to change the metal quite drastically, it was never right again?
My point is, rust is in every Mopar!
If you live in a DRY State then its rusts a lot slower...

If your Rare Car hasn't been apart and ALL surfaces treated INSIDE and OUT, then she is rusting away.
Everything above the primer 'DIP-LINE' inside your B-Body has rust on it.
That's the upper rear quarters, roof skin and supports, upper pillars, inside the door posts behind the upper hinges etc.

All the original 'window plugs' I have seen are also BARE metal underneath...

YEP its going RUSTEE!!!
Good restorers take the trouble to paint inside the previously UNTREATED areas to save the car for the future.

I bought a 'restored' 69 Charger that after five years looked real bad, especially in the UNTREATED areas...

We don't all live in Dry States, in fact most of us live in WET places, near the Sea, but we still love MOPARS!!!

Some Folks go the EXTRA MILE to keep them alive and here for our Kids and Grand-kids...

Real Moparmen restore their car for what it is, NOT for what its worth...

[odcics2]

Imagine a car, after a salt run, living in the humid S.E. US ? 

[1969 R/T SE]

How stupid must you be to take a earo car to a salt plane, those cars are going to rest after that
