RUST, inner fender, under the hood...

[fixizin]

... right rear corner, near the blower motor, wondering if this is a "Florida thing", i.e. humid air condensing due to icy A/C air moving nearby?...

>>> Can I access the backside of this from the wheel wells if I remove the fender skirts? Figured I'd grind/nibble it out, hit the surrounding areas with Dupli-Color Rust Fix ("turns rust to black primer"), and patch with plastic screen + epoxy putty (PC-7 is my fave)... suggestions???

Thanks in advance.

That's not bad. It's the firewall seam....torque box for the hinge mounts and the A pillar base with the windshield that is a pia.

Where might rain be leaking in? Could this be related to beaucoup leaves trapped in the "cowl"?

Note the ground-strap, connecting Aluminum hood to Steel body... because when running E85, she gets up to trans-sonic speeds, and the static buildup is intense!... lol...
