Excellent suggestion. Of course, a '68 Midget should be
pretty simple to reconnect -- there isn't much on it.

It's biodegradable, you can dilute it with water, and
it smells fresh and minty. :-) I use it as a first-line
hand cleaner sometimes, as well as a general-purpose
cleaning solvent. I have actually washed cars by
spraying Simple Green on the paint and wiping with a
paper towel. (Of course, that was the race car and
not the show car, but still...)
