The simplicity of wrenching on older cars is something that is unfamiliar to many. My brother recently got rid of his 66 Corvair, it was funny to work on car that you literally could take apart most of with a 1/2inch and 9/16ths wrench and there was not one metric bolt on the whole thing. I recently replaced the heads on my 94 Mustang GT convertible. Forgot that back in the day I used to think that some things on that car had tight access, now that I am used to all the newer stuff I kept laughing how easy it was to take it apart and how much room I had on that old V8. Funny thing is that car is part metric and part standard bolts, most of the engine stuff was still standard sockets as the engine design dates back to the 60s while everything else attached to it was mostly metric. Kind of a transitional era car for the domestics where some standard sockets are still used.
