Paul,
You infer that the body shell is sitting on the ground. If I were you,
I'd try to put some blocks under it to get the shell off the ground so that
the air can flow under the body shell. Also remove the car cover on the
weekends when you are out working. You need to let the moisture out from
under the shell otherwise the moisture can really eat up the car.
I have a Sonett parts car that sat under a car cover on 4 wheels in a persons
back yard. There is NOTHING left of any of the body/chassis sheet metal.
You wouldn't believe the RUST!!!!
