Same way I can't believe how FANTASTIC AZ, CA and other western cars are after 40-50 years. Even current vehicles and trucks used as snow plows and such rust terribly still. When I service them, you don't even bother trying to remove fasteners under the truck. You start with a 3/4" drive impact and just try to break all the fasteners off. If that doesn't work, out comes the torch. Socket sets and wrenches are just a cute novelty.

The '73 has been in CA all of its life and garaged or carported most of the time. The '75 is originally from southern Alberta Canada up until I bought it 2 years ago. Its cold but a very dry climate. Its a low mile car that was always garaged.. but appears to have seen a few dirt roads in its life.
