I think you have the idea Grady. Don't forget to look at the rubber parts too, belts, gaskets, body bumpers, fuel lines, etc. I would definitely replace the rubber fuel lines if you see any cracking at all and belts are an obvious item. The bottom of my '46 has quite a bit of rot and corrosion and I am going to have to pay attention to that. Any car that did, or might have set on flat tires on anything other than concrete outside will have had exposure to wet plant material on the underside and could have corrosion problems. Don't forget to check under the seats for old coins too.......
