Did you read the 2014 Itinerary post when I visited drober23 in Michigan? He had a nice textured paint, man it looked solid and tough, but the car was rotting out from underneath. It is about drainage more than anything else:yondermtn wrote:I'd be interested in some expansion on this.

As far as the bus in the OP, my eye immediately goes to the rear apron where the factory body holes are on either side of the engine hatch. I see this bus has new metal or bondo covering those holes.

Good eye on the missing Bumper Captive Nut and Frame Box Interior Rust-Proofing Access Holes.
