Had mine for 30 Years. finished the first restoration about 27 years ago. It looked and ran great. After about 15 years the Lacquer paint I used was cracking and spider webbing, So I blew it completely apart (again) and finished a 3 year restoration about 5.5 years ago. I did everything myself; body, paint, interior, engine rebuild, etc. My neighbors thought I was crazy. They have no concept of the number of hours of prep that goes into a good paint job. My wife helped quite a bit.
