Looks like surface rust to me.....no big deal....rust means holes usually.



Nice pussycat!

I think to some people it means "rust through"
no holes, no rust.

If you need a cat, I can hook you up. No car purchase required. Just pay shipping.

True, the BODY won't rust. Poor bonding, now THAT is a different problem.

Rust? Of course a Corvette can and will rust, under all that plastic and it's not pretty. I've seen it up close. Take a look at the pics at the link.

Here's just one example:
