These are exactly what I'm looking for, to use on a '40 Chev. Your car looks like a '38, can you see past the B pillar with these? What make are...

Not necessarily. Being rust free doesn't necessarily make it hard or tough, which are two different things. Like carbon steels, there are...
Looks more like a '40 Buick, a wealthier man's car...
And the perp was "treated in hospital for minor cuts and gashes"...
This pic is of a display chassis built by Ford to showcase changes for 1940. Look closely, you can see there's a big joggle in the 1-2 lever on...

I'd try citric acid first.

One of the 40/ 60 amp cubes with the 3/8" tabs might work, since it'll only operate for a few seconds most of the time. Or this would be a better...
