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.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
