Re: [Amc-list] RUST

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

If it's JUST the heater box area that's rusted, that's fairly ordinary 
-- even my California 63 Classic had that. Leaves etc collect in there 
and rot it away. The good news is, though it's a PITA to reach, it's an 
easy enogu fix. Gotta take the header box crap out and an extra elbow in 
your arm helps.

The cowl vent dumps water and leaves in there. There's a faint lip that 
prevents draining. With the heater out you can reach up in there and 
clean it out. I haven't been inside mine in nearly 20 years, so memories 
are scarce.

I noticed where the dash board wasthat there is a lot of rust, so I get to thinking about my 64 Classic. It's has a bad leak on the passenger side. Took it to a car wash one time and when I sprayed it down, water poured out of the glove box.
