I like it. No doubt that's fresh, it still looks wet.

I think its a practical approach to enjoy an older vehicle. Have fun.

Looks great! I wasn`t sure if you were running or I was listening to Van Halen there till DLR started singing and Eddie started playing.
Excellent choice in back ground music.

Yea that's what I heard when I first watched the video, that turned out cool, I run a body shop but cleared it in my garage, it was cold and caused the clear to really lay there and shine, it does look wet, Thanks

They're only original once. Looks great.

I have a hardtop sedan that is a legitimate barn find and I envision doing the same with it.

Drive it and love every minute of it!
