[DML] Re: Removing Rusty Nuts

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are fortunately spoiled by not working on rusty northern (salt-
belt) cars. On the vehicles I just purchased in SC, I'm amazed at the 
condition compared to what I'd expect around here. The hardware on 
the bottom of the 6-year-old truck is still shiny and comes apart 
easily, on a vehicle from around here I'd have been torching/breaking 
everything apart. Deloreans that have been stored in humid barns can 
have the same issues even without the salt. 

FYI - You don't see many Lincolns around here more than about 10 
years old, any that are have large holes in the body.
