PREVENTION is always better than CURE!!!! by all means find a proper parking & dont park at our convenience at others inconveniences!! otherwise 'the Teach you a lesson' * will abuse your investment

Factory paint is still the far best !!!! Don't Repaint Panels to Cover Scratches!! Don't touch the paint! as collectors wants to do a restoration he's going to do it his way and not our attempts to repair!!

many painter tries to achieve a factory original paint job but, as it is baked under around 1,500 degrees to a rock hard finish.


Cars Collectors will pay you far above book value for your car the authenticity of your ride

Have a great weekend

{Note: There has been a couple of horror stories of vehicles being keyed on this forum lately.....Along with suggestions on what to do to the "keying-culprits" if caught!}


You're correct about the importance of vehicle authenticity. I've noticed the value of Unrestored Originals have risen to the heights, and beyond in some instances, of many restored classics lately.......Even being recognized as a 'Class' for Bloomington judging of Corvettes.

Excellent work on removing/lessening the blemishes on the keyed areas of the vehicle in your thread!
