We took the air hose to all the vents including the ones on the bottoms of the doors on the driver's side. I found some of the body sealant decaying under the hood hinges. So I removed the springs and cleaned out the area well and sprayed vinegar on the rusted area to deaden the rust. Resealed the decayed body sealant and replaced the springs. Rain is due by tomorrow night and I may add the sprinkler to the roof too. The car had been sitting through the last rains and had not been driven.

Carnut let me know if you interested in a morning of fun at PicknPull. I'm in Sonora so I sometimes hit Modesto and Stockton PicknPulls. I need another cowling for the left side. Mine was broken when I got the car. I have another cowling in black but this one is the chrome finish (early 82).
