Finally pulled the front clip off the 47 buisness today with the help of a friend, so I got up the nerve to try and free up the 59AB from a car that has been sitting outside in the Alaskan winters for the last 46 years, after soaking with MMO for 5 months and I put the socket wrench on it and miraculously it turned over! Not only that the water pumps also spun as well.
Patience is a virtue, and it pays to not rush things on these old motors, it took me over six months to free a Willys-Knight sleeve valve engine that had been sitting for 20 years.
I am a firm believer in Marvel Mystery Oil!

Yes, the humidity is almost nil here, but the constant freeze/ thaw can play havoc on old cars. On a good note there's not a lot of rust to deal with, unless you live on the coast. With the severe cold we have in the interior the conditions that breed rust don't have time to work.
