An "unpainted" classic indicates to me a guy that is;
1. A person that in not lazy, he has a dream, a visi :thumbsup: :steering:on, and is actively persuing it as time and $ allow.
2. A person that is not ashamed of his ride and the fact that just maybe , wring a big check to have the work done, is not feasible.
3. Some people look at such and see the beauty of the art of that classic. It still offers the looker the art even though not shiny perfect paint that cost ********!
