I do appreciate the cars. We've had them for a long time. But the salt here dissolves them underneath and a paint job won't stave that off. I've gone to NC, SC, VA to get them; just brought one back from S KY for myself.

I'm helping a friend do one now for his son. Nice-looking car - repainted a few years ago. Good miles, perfect interior. But it's from upstate NY: A-arms are thin, engine cradle is thin, no backing plates, stabilizer links are hourglassed - one snapped in two. And the carrier-support cradle was so thin that I twisted it into an S by hand after I removed it.

Oddly, the undercoating held and the floors are mostly solid.
