4 years ago I put my 65 fastback and 57 chevy belair in storage and moved overseas. I bought a shipping container put it on my uncle's farm. I am moving back to the US this summer and I am having mixed feelings about opening up the container. My uncle prepped them for storage, so I am sure the engines will be fine. What I am really worried about is rust. The container is supposed to be watertight, but the air in Georgia is always humid. Should I be worried?

if they were properly prepared for storage, nice thick coat of wax left in place, etc. there should be little or no rust, except perhaps in areas where you cant prep, and the factory didnt do a good job of painting, or priming. for instance the cowl area of the mustang might have some surface rust. if you find surface rust, dont panic because it actually preserves the metal. if you find rust under the paint though, then worry about rust holes.
