She sits in a climate controlled garage so it shouldnt get any worse. its all real light and easy to knock off and none of it is deep, the farther you go forward on the car the less actual surface rust there is. the suspension has no squeaks, rattles or bad bushings so I hate to tear her apart till she actually "needs" it. I think just some good cleaning, maybe just drop the rear axle and gas tank to get into the nooks and crannies, spread around some POR and just keep enjoying her for what she is! I have had 5 first gen Camaros, a couple were prostreet and 3 were stock suspension but NONE of them floated down the road like this car does, hardly a squeak or rattle, take curves at 55-60 mph with no body lean and I swear you can steer it with 1 finger and brake with 1 toe. The difference between the 2 F-Bodies is highly apparent when driving this one!
