very basic question on paint.
Pawned: I'm second owner of the car. It's a so cal car, it was treated very well by the original owner. Only in the last two years was it exposed to the elements. It is now in my garage.
It's a very good car for restoration since the body is in such great shape, that is the most important thing I looked at, body.
However, it will be striped to bare metal. It had a vinyl top that was removed early on, the roof is near perfect.
Some of the projects I see others working on would put me off completely. I have a lot of respect for those that choose to climb that mountain!
