73-80 Rusty hood

So what is it that makes the 73-80 hoods rust across the fronts? I have a original hood thats in perfect shape, just needs paint but I want to make sure it wont eventually get rust holes and bubbles across the front.

I would think dirt and moisture on the inside between the outer and inner skin.

They are designed to rust so you can go buy a new $30,000 vehicle.
