Even more revealing is a story I heard about untreated steel body shells sitting in a field waiting for their turn at the Alfa assembly line... literally rusting where they sat....  If true, no amount of rust treatment would be able to undo these effects... even on the best of steel, even though I have heard the Russian steel story also.
