Sorry fellows, can't help you out on the Jerry Clowers, don't recall ever hearing of the man. Now the name Clifton Clowers does stick way back in the foggy part of my memory, but I can't connect it up with a face.
There aren't any clowers in the phone book for this part of the country eithers, so I guess I'm just gong to have to draw a blank. Course that Jerry fellow just might be in the part of my past I've worked at forgetting, sort of like when you get the notice in the mail from the Court telling you one of the former wives has married and you don't have to send her alimony any more. There was a lot of that when I worked for the railroad. You got yorself a couple exes collecting and you find yourself lucky payday to be able to go in with another man to buy a sack of beans to get through the week. Put them beans up in a decent crock on the exhaust of a locomotive and they cook up pretty decent. It sure ain't good eating but it will keep your backbone from meeting up with yer belly button for a while. It helps a lot if you remember to leave the cab window open a couple notches too. Another thing them beans will do is snuff the light out on a man's lovelife. That's a whole other subject though.

Most vehicles have a weakness. I had a 98 Dodge Ram. There problem was the bottom of the doors. Rust would get started on the inside by the weather strip, and be hidden by it. It would then spread, and if not taken care of, spread to the outside bottom of the door. It was only surface rust, but it would spread like crazy if not stopped. Road salt is a big part of the problem.
Another example is late 80's to late 90's Chevy trucks. The cab corners, rockers and rear wheel wells are the worst areas. I have a coworker who had his fixed several years ago, and its started all over again. His problem is that it got into the frame also. He keeps on driving it, its got something like over 200,000 miles on it so he got his moneys worth.
Vehicles are much better than they use to be. I've restored a couple of 1970 Mopars and they were very vunerable to rust, as were a lot of other cars from that era. Plugged drain holes was a common cause.

here in NYS, if you drive the car all year around, you are gonna have to upgrade the vehicle in 6-10 years if you don't wash and wax the car. everything rusts due to amount of salt they spread on the roads. I find that people who have nice cars only drive it after spring rains wash away salt from roads and put it away before the first snow fall. I am actually jealous of them- they got the time and money and space to baby those cares.
AS far as rusting, if I try to take care of it, it only goes away for a few years then come back with vengeance so I just let it go.
