Rockers and the skins were pretty well changed from white to the familiar orange and bubbling along the bottom. Rear quarters were also bubbling around the bumper cover.

Sorry for not getting pics; the thing had something in the neighborhood of 230K miles on it and was a royal POS. Anything can rust given time and lethargy.

EXCUSE YOU for what?

The Door skins you say you saw on a '96 firebird were one of the following:

a) Not On a Firebird
b) Not OEM doors (or doors from another vehicle transplanted to a Firebird)
c) Not Rusty or Corroded.

Which one is it?

The reason your credibility is on the line is simple... 4th Gen F-Bodies were ALL manufactured with Composite (PLASTIC) DOORS.

Did you forget that plastic does not rust?

Look it up and then tell me how your claim is possible!!!! Since you got this completely WRONG, your eyewitness accounts of other 4th Gen rust are probably as equally wrong as well.

Thanks for playing!
