Hey Paul,
Roscoe here. I have an A&C I built 14 years ago and it is still running strong. Original gelcoat still looks like paint and I saved a ton of time and money not having to paint it. I understand Bill K gave you my cell so don't hesitate to give me a call. You can come over to check out the car; I'm in Fairfield.

By the way, my wife works in Nutley for the eye surgeon across from the PD.
