Five years is a bit optimistic. lol. Those a wise words, and I sincerely mean it. The originality is still the long term goal. In fact, I would very much like to keep the original paint. I have opposing opinions on that. Some say it might be original others say it's not. I would of liked to knock off all the sitting around dust and dirt and cleared it preservation, but I do not believe you can clear single stage. Even if you could there would still be all the rust. Not seen here yet is the current state of the underside. It is perfectly orange in color. The subframes and all their attached components are covered in oxidation. So the cowl was about to be a goner, the rust was so bad. I just wanted to see how electrolysis would react with this eras steel and one single area of paint. Please keep the thoughts coming, whether I agree or not, I will read and endeavor to understand better why you might feel that way. And in many cases come around to that way of thinking.
