why don't you put that picture in.....

Well, that and I thought about taking another even more scattered version but scattered and filthy dusty I wouldn’t stand a chance against some of these shots I’ve already seen.

At least . . . not yet

Fixed it... mobile device always autocorrects and finishes extra words into a post. Held down the backspace deleting whole words a bit too long it seems.

Greetings Guys; Of course this is theme that I had always figured I had in the bag. Kinda considered the Bronze Brick paint to be a 97%er among the cars of the period. Even as the 86-7's had 7-8 years less exposure. For you guys that don't do percent, that's out of every 100 cars the Ole' Brick paint was still one of the best 3? But this theme doesn't necessarily mean the winner has to have Best Original Paint, just that it has to have "Original Paint". So nasty paint on a Fantastic car could easily WIN?? Or is that fantastic paint on a Nasty car. Oh now I'm confused, Ole' Bob.

Confused... if it's original paint there IS NO clear coat. These cars came new with lacquer, early repaints urethane enamel. Not a base/clear. If clear is peeling, it's not original paint....

Maybe the paint is worse than I thought, sorry didn't realize they didn't have clear coat then

Well, I got shut out with my Malibu the last time I entered. Maybe the Bonneville will do better!
