Our 20 yr old car has the same issues been that way for a while now.We drive our car and it gets the usual road damage we accept it.Years ago it used to bother me to a pont it made no sense.We do not live in operating room conditions.Besides rubber bebees on the rear quarters adds to the pateena.

My kit was bought in 1985 and the black gell coated body was left outside in the sun for 5 years whilst I acquired and assembled the mechanicals to let it "settle" and get rid of most of the wiggles and bubbles before painting, but even so it is still settling somewhat.

Like most of you I am a true petrol-head, but unlike some of you I believe that the Cobra was primarily a race car and was never intended to be a show car, so I have never bothered with authenticity, or quality of shine or finish and prefer my car to look like a much used toy that has it's fair share of battle scars and whose form follows function.

This means that it gets washed maybe once in a blue moon, and if I feel that something needs changing or adding I do that without worrying about authenticity. Despite my apparent "negligence" the car still creates a sensation whenever I go out in it, or park it somewhere, and still gives me a thrill every time I drive it.

So, I think that the wrinkles don't matter, and the OP is right to just live with them.

The only time I will "normalise" my car is if I see a financial advantage in it when I try to sell it one day.
