I haven't tore into the hood or front yet, so hoping that holds true. I think there is a slight amount of bubbling at the top of one of the sides of the hood, otherwise, nothing apparently rusty.

The rear fenders are another story. They are badly rusted at the bottom right where the fender meets the top of the mount. Not salvageable because they've had other makeshift repairs over the years. I have an original used set in much nicer condition, but looking at those the other day realized they too will need worked on. Not a ton, but still going to require effort. Usually I am not for aftermarket replacements and like original equipment, but I see all the usual suspects offer replacements with Ford script punched in them. Don't know if that route is better or spend money to try to fix the used set that I have.

I will definitely try to keep things updated.
