survivor vs restoration

[booker t jones]

She's a clean machine. Definitely a "survivor" or a "un-restored original" if you prefer. There only like that once. Tires, brakes, and tune. Have fun with it. When you pull into a car cruise you will be suprised how much attention it attracts. SCORE!!!!!

don't really enter many shows about 2000had a really nice vw thing entered a show was put in special interest class with a real ac cobra a lasalle and some high dollar brass cars won best of class so much for 6 figure trailer queens

my opinion on painting the white top is perfect the hood trunk and flat surfaces around them need paint there is a seam aout 3 inches down the side running the entire length of car so paint everything that's green down to that seam buff out the rest then a thin white pin stripe down this transistion line
