Rust!!!

Weirdest rust ever! I have no idea how a hood rusts this way, but it’s easy to check the radiator. As long as your tetanus shots are current.

I've never seen a hood rust that way either. Back in the early eighties my friend bought a '78 fj40 from the east coast and I almost couldn't tell what it was from the rust. This hood is like art someway. I would try and find a spot on the wall or ceiling for it. A great piece to auction off at an event for charity.

I bid $50

I’m wanting to do something similar to this.

Ok, $100

The rust bucket surprised me. I was rummaging thru the junk in the back and found a power steering box and reservoir. And the windshield is good.

My Pig is getting rust spots that might be the start of a similar pattern.
The paint is really thin and I'm fighting little surface rust spots all over including the hood.
Is suspect this it comes from minute features in the paint either from the original painting from factory or damage afterwards. As the paint ages and the environment does its thing they become the start of corrosion.
