I sometimes cringe when people advise others to take it to the "professionals"
and while the "professionals" maybe good at their normal job; many times old car stuff is out of their wheelhouse and "battle scars" are the result.

I kinda feel '32-'34 perch bolts are the only ones worth taking extra effort to "save" and on the others just getting them out is the important part.

On the other hand I did get a few more later model perch bolts out the other day.
