That body is far to straight and the paint far to smooth and free of orange peel to ever fool anyone into thinking it's an original. If you had just shot the original wavy fiberglass surface with PPG lacquer and buffed it orange peel, bugs and all - it might have fooled someone.

Good post - and nice looking car.

Yeah - we've really ruined it now, 'cause those pics were taken the morning after the clear was shot on it... hadn't even been sanded yet. We totally ruined the entire illusion by sanding and buffing it smooth - just another sign of a rank amateur trying to make something into something it's not.
