The panels behind my front wheels are rusted through. It was that way when I bought it. It has been in the garage since I've had it. By keeping it completely dry will that inhibit further rusting at all or will it continue with the same vengence as it would outside? I know I'll eventually need to replace those panels & cut out rust in other places but don't want to spend the time on the rust, yet. Thank.

yes Rance, keeping it completely dry will stop the rust, and if it's gonna stay in the garage there's no need to put the rust repair at the top of the list

most rusting starts from the underside where mud ans trash is trapped and not washed clean so unless you clean the underside where the wet material is you will get more rust...doc

Thorough cleaning of all dirt and debris, followed by a coat of rust neutralizer/converter/encapsulator, will inhibit the rust from encroaching. Good luck with your project.
