To repeat my intro - I've never owned an F-body before, but many A-bodies as in my signature.
I looked at a '67 convertible last weekend that underwhelmed me. "No rust" turned into outer wheel houses with holes big enough to get my entire forearm in... Although I was very surprised that the 1/4's themselves seemed VERY solid.
I'm hoping to look at a different car this weekend that's supposedly a California car. I'll be able to use my A-body experience for the ususal suspects (bottom of front fenders, rockers, rear 1/4's, rear wheel lips, wheel houses and trunk floor), but I realize the F-body is a different beast and apparently much more prone to rot than A-bodies.
So given that can any/all list out other areas to inspect for rust/rot?
And while I'm at it with questions: if parts are missing/non-original what should give me the most concern? (aka: what's the most difficult/expensive parts to replace?) Obviously besides #'s match.
