Birdcage Rust

[mike cobine]

I know this comes up time to time, but on the Corvette Forum, I ran across a real horror story. Enough so, I went out and checked mine after reading it.

To see where I couldn't, I took the camera and took a few pictures. Happily, I can say mine looks rather sound.

Go read the link if you want to see really nasty stuff.

How do you see into this area?

Option 1: use your 2 year old, and teach him or her how to use a camera.

Option 2: Remove the SpeedO/Tach housing and glove box housing

Option 3: My Fav, on your back snake your way under the steering wheel and stick head up under dash pionted towards the upper outside area with a flashlite in your hand/mouth, or something to that effect. Ha Ha

Will a lttle effort you can see this area without to much trouble to get an idea if you need to dig further.

It looks like the windshield could end up in the driver's lap some day !!!!

It is a beautiful car for sale

and someone will pay a lot of money for it, only to find very serious problems.
