[AT] antique tractors in the Alabama surf

[Will Powell]

Yes, I've seen what happens to a vehicle after the tide comes in on it. I would have never tried to save that guys vehicle. Now instead of just one rust bucket there will be 4 to 5. You can be sure that every one of the volunteers won't be so helpful the next time after they see what happens to their vehicles.

Sometime I'll send you a picture of what happens to a Chevy Blazer when it 
gets ocean water on the underside of a quarter panel and I didn't take it 
swimming. I just got caught driving on the beach at high tide and the 
wheels slung water into places I couldn't get washed off.

Yep about the only way to even hope to keep them alive will be to let it 
soak in clear water for a couple days, then pull every wire connection 
that was under water and clean and lube them then pray that the clear 
water got all the salt out of the hidden spots. 

Even a clear water bath will cause major problems, salt just makes it 
much worse MUCH faster.
