I wish I could drive the pictures.

It did photograph well and honestly wasn't in terrible shape but like anything else it gained a lot of steam once I started to change anything. The top was horrible (it was a poorly done replacement) so I said i'll get a new top. Then it became that a new top would look terrible with a paint job that was cracking so it needed paint. Well then why do that and not re-chrome. Next thing you know the car is in pieces.

I certainly understand and appreciate the term "mission creep" as it pertains to cars we love. My '39 81-c,a 1989 BCA Senior car,is currently in the midst of a restoration which started out as fixing some areas of bad paint. Best of luck,and may no significant discoveries be made in the process.
