Default Has this ever happened to you guys?

Walked into the garage and started cleaning my '68. I was cleaning the rear bumpers when I noticed the rear spring was DISINTEGRATING:eek:! The car has been a garage without moving for 13 years but I can't believe this!!

All metals will deteriorate in time. Some take longer and some shorter. I sure would look over the car real good before driving to make sure that this hasn't happened any where else.
