Newbie from Finland (Europe)

Hi,
My name is Tom and I have a 1941 business coupe (66)
The car is mostly original but someone has installed a new rear seat in it.
runns like a dream 70mph all day long.

Right... in Michigan what you describe is not "minor rust" - that's "NO RUST."

This is what I have to deal with- Arizona rustfree car brought to MI and then driven all winter, evidently:

In Finland the ammount of rust on my Olds is enough to not getting it approved for street use.
The ammount of rust on your car would get you executed if you drove it on the streets!

"Executed"??
Wow - that's a bit severe!!
Do they use a rusty blade in the gilutone?? [sp]

I've seen lower fenders go out like wings, on the x-ways, in the rust belt!
