In the decades I've spent buying old classic cars, I always was amazed at the ability of some people to look you in the eye and flat out lie to you. One guy who lured me many miles from home with the promise of a rust free '66 GTO convertible I balled out to his face. And I was only 22 at the time, he was in his 40's. The car was so rusty it would have broken in half on a lift. I literally poked my index finger through the frame. Have seen rusted frame rails duct-taped over and shot with undercoating. Seriously. And that house-type expanding foam? It chemically reacts to steel and will start it rusting and there is no way to stop it. Saw pics of a '41 Packard that was totaled this way. The foam was sprayed into the A, B. and C pillars, rocker housings, etc. The entire car rotted from the inside out.
