Fortunately it is rust free. A lot of people claimed to be selling a rust free 69 but I finally found someone who wasn't just saying that.

Yeah, "rust-free" to a lot of people means, it's got a good paint job and you just can't see the rust. lol

I'm currently stationed at North Island. I've spent a lot of my career as a BUD/S student but it never worked out for me so it's time for me to move on.

Welcome. Nice starting point with the parts. I have been "starting" on my 69 for 5 years now. I think I bought a key chain for it so far.
