I'm originally from Pennsylvania. Check the 'vintage photos' thread in The Lobby for pics of my first car, lol! I know all about road salt, unfortunately

My #16 heads were in a similar state, and they are now perfect after an acid bath and machining.

Degreasing the front frame. I was worried about the car slipping off the floor jack while rolling it, but I popped the saddle off the jack, and was able to bolt right through an existing hole in the crossmember to the jack! Much safer. I figure one or two more days of degreasing ahead.



Found a little of the original Expresso Brown on the cowl....the only place it has survived.
