Potential for rust?

[GnarlyDudeLive]

Being the panels are just glued to the inner high strength steel support structures then hung on to the vehicle does anyone concerns that the inner structures are going to rust out over time? The seams visually from what I have seen do not protect from ingress of water on to the inner supports. Would be wicked nasty if 20 years from now a sheet of the HFS goes flying off at highway speeds.

I suppose it’s possible? The supports are painted, and protected from impact, so they should last.

The DeLorean frame is epoxy-coated steel, and some that traversed salted roads rusted out after 10-20 years. My Texas DMC is holding up great.
