I would like opinions on whether to stop fixing up the cosmetics on my car.
Let me tell you what I've got. It is a stock original '66 with a good running 361, 112K on the clock with a 727 auto. Burns no oil and shifts great.
The car was in pretty good shape and all i've really done is clean it up. I painted it original metallic red using single stage urethane and recovered the passenger seat. I have the build sheet and plastis warrenty card.
I will try to upload pics
Here's my questions;
1. Should I repaint the silver dash trim when I remove the guage cluster?
2, The engine has been left alone since it left the factory. I just cleaned it up. Should I detail the engine?
I am torn between doing these things to make it look sharper, and leaving it original with the pimples of 40+ years of use. Future value would also be a consideration.
What do you guys think?
Thanx,
Ragman
