I was able to make my sisters beater Toyota Nova last for 3 minnesota winters (read winter beater) and not even a rust herpie under the paint.. She never maintained or cleaned the exterior throught out winter time.. My sister still has it out there and I'll take pictures of it when I get there..

I know what I'm doing and if I prep while in Dry California (like I did the Nova), I have very little to worry about in reguards to moisture..

For my truck I'll lift the cab, remove the bed, weld fill in all of the holes in the frame, few layers on the gas tank, ect..

good to go..
