"to truly appreciate it post restoration you need to drive it in it's current state"
I think that's a good point.
my gut is saying drive as-is for a while
seems a shame to keep it off the road even longer whilst i get it painted.
underbody is great, so I wouldn't mind anyone's thoughts on a good way to preserve the condition.
As I've noted elsewhere, I live REALLY close to the ocean and my whole hometown is surrounded by salt water:
beaches, river and what you'd loosely call mangrove swamp
i.e. good rust breeding area
so I'm loath to paint anything under there or coat it with too much crap. I'll ask a local panel shop what they think, but your opinions will be important too.
anyway, it looks bloody wild with all those dings, but I'm SO hangin
to pump Detroit Rock City from it when I get it on the road.
need these too....
