stripping a patina Duster hood

I want you to know how impressed i am with your research, your work and your attitude. Far too often lately, we have had people ask questions and then get snippy (putting it mildly) with people who offer ideas they didn't care for. Your replies were all appreciative. Plus, I like the way you are researching this problem to find the best solution. Then, I really like the way you have kept us advised on the progress of your project.
Plus, I'm learning and doing more research myself.
