Yah .. Thats One Nice Thing About Living Out Here In The Dry West. Nuts & Bolts Still Unscrew After 30 Or 40 Years. I Lived In Michigan For 35 Years, & After A Couple Of Winters Everything From The Windows On Down Was A One Piece Rusty Blob. I'll Never Try To Restore One Of Those Again No Matter Where I Live.
